You shouldn't need to worry about CVSROOT unless you are creating your own repositories. The SimGear/FlightGear repositories are kept on the flightgear server so I have to worry about CVSROOT, but not anyone else. There are instructions on the simgear.org web site for checking out a copy of simgear. If you follow those instructions *exactly* it should just work.
