I'm trying to use the second cdrom of the 2.2.6-RELEASE distribution to put sources on the hard drive. I have set the environmental variable CVSROOT to /cdrom/CVSROOT I created a supfile to use with cvsup, telling it to put the files in /opt: *default release=cvs *default base=/opt/info *default prefix=/opt # Of these "host" options, none works. When host=localhost, connection is refused. # *default host=/cdrom/CVSROOT # *default host=$CVSROOT # *default host=localhost src-bin tag=RELENG_2_2_6_RELEASE I tried using cvs, like this: cd /opt/src # that's where I want the stuff put setenv CVSROOT /cdrom/CVSROOT cvs checkout -d . -r RELENG_2_2_5_RELEASE src but get various error messages--I think there's something I don't understand about this. So, what might the command line look like for doing this? Thanks-- Annelise P.S. I know that I can use cvsup to get sources from the usual servers and I do this regularly for -stable and -current; I just want to be able to use the repository on the CD when getting sources from the Internet is not possible.
