Setting it up the the first place is the initial problem! And I still have not worked out how to use even anon access to cvs.linuxcnc.org via Eclipse, so I just download the tar's from time to time and sync that way. SF has ALWAYS worked for me via ssh so having the hassle of trying to set up something else is just a waste of my time :( SO I am active in projects that I CAN actually access ;) -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://home.lsces.co.uk/lsces/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://home.lsces.co.uk MEDW - http://home.lsces.co.uk/ModelEngineersDigitalWorkshop/ Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
