Are you trying to setup a cvsup mirror? If so, then look at net/cvsup-mirror. That will setup a mirror for you, and it will ask where you want to store the data. If you are just wanting to pull the src tree, then you can use anon cvs and something like: % cd /usr/local/ncvs % setenv CVSROOT :pserver:freebsdanoncvs@anoncvs.FreeBSD.org:/home/ncvs % cvs login % cvs co -rRELENG_5 src ... wait for everything to transfer ... % cvs logout CVSROOT is where the repository resides. I.E. in the example above, the repository is located at anoncvs.FreeBSD.org in /home/ncvs. - -- Bob Bomar bob@bomar.us http://www.bomar.us/~bob -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFCpt+K9Jm/aTrtdKoRAkDNAJ97NeuceQsk3ORWI8La719LuvRknQCeOpGp YdiKr3dhdZ14SaSAKzc93SU= =SS6u -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
