I don't even know if it matters. The command I used was... cvs -d /usr/cvs co -d /tmp/doc > ? > > Did you get error messages? > ...and no I didn't see any error messages. All of the directories are created but nothing is in them. I didn't use the -q option, and I looked up what that does. So I could try it again when I get home, and see if there were any error messages that I missed. I'll go back and double check everything when I get home. But those are the steps I've been using. But, assuming for a moment this is actually working, where am I supposed to check these files out to, and what do I do when them afterwards? Is there a readme or well documented makefile somewhere? > Ciao, > Sheldon. > Thanks for any help, -Chris To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
