I do not really understand why CVSNT could not be installed.

I am not a Windows XP user, so I am unable to aid you. You may find it desirable to setup a CVS server on an operating system that is better supported. Such operating systems include (in alphabetical order): FreeBSD, GNU/Linux, NetBSD, and OpenBSD (all of which come with a 'cvs' client already installed). Even such 'proprietary' operating systems as AIX, HP/UX, IRIX, BSDI BSD/OS, and Solaris may have cvs client/server added with very little hassle. >=20 > Thank you >=20 > Cordially, >=20 > Julien QUESTER-SEMEON Good luck, -- Mark =2D----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFER6nwCg7APGsDnFERAlaSAKCTSHP/VAo+ZnIMoNGjeAwmnsyfqACgjNNg opyRwGB1GWysgkoLmjo0+Jg=3D =3DmGht =2D----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Bug-cvs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-cvs
