I've checked in the webpages to a seperate module so that everyone else 
has access to edit on them. I've not yet copied them on to the visible 
site and won't for a couple of days (see below).

Here's how to get the files.

setup your CVS root as normal (eg on linux/unix)

Feel free to hack away on them, and I'll try and upload the blank HD and 
floppy images today. I guess we could make them live sometime over the 
long weekend if there's no major blockers.

I had a thought about editing the pages that means we can't quite use this 
method below.

These work as before.

Due to eveyone having different cvs usernames/password (the username would 
be written into the CVS/Root file) means only one person could sensibly do 
this. So it's probably simpler to do this

- After making changes and checking in, use sftp/scp to upload the pages 
you change to the sourceforge shell account as we currently do to edit 
pages.

That way updating the webapges isn't locked to pestering one person to 
type cvs up, but it is slightly more tedious, and people need to not edit 
the 'live' ones directly.
