Hello.

I recently installed a 4.3 minimal release.
Now, I try to retrieve the source tree for src/sys.

I get the following:

<<
dugorgeon# cvs login
...
dugorgeon# cvs checkout -r RELENG_4_3_0_RELEASE src/sys
cvs checkout: in directory src:
cvs checkout: cannot open CVS/Entries for reading: No such file or directory
cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot write <CVS/Template file>: No such file or
direct
ory
dugorgeon# echo $CVSROOT
:pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.FreeBSD.org:/home/ncvs
dugorgeon# cvs logout
(Logging out of anoncvs@anoncvs.FreeBSD.org)
dugorgeon#
>>

Furthermore, is there *only* one cvs server for all the world? The page
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/anoncvs.html
says the following:
<<
At the time of this writing, the following servers are available:
    * USA: :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.FreeBSD.org:/home/ncvs (Use cvs login
and enter the password ``anoncvs'' when prompted.)
>>


"/home/ncvs" seems to be the root of the source; isn't it?
So, why the checked out module in the example is "ls"? There is
no "ls" directory in the root of the source tree!

Thanks a lot for help.
