No, that wasn't the problem. Why is it saying "updating" and printing a U when there was nothing there before? >> + cvs checkout: Updating src/sys/gnu/i386/isa >> + cvs checkout: cannot open CVS/Entries for reading: No such file or directory >> + cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot open CVS/Root: No such file or directory >> > > I've never seen this though. I removed the whole directory hierarchy and started again. It still said "Updating", but it didn't trip over these directories (there was one other, but I didn't go through to the end of the hierarchy). The question is, have I done something the first time round that stopped it from happening again? I had a look in the repository (/src/cvs/src/sys/gnu/i386/isa/), but nothing changed status round that time. Greg
