First of all, where do you want your repository located? the 'init' command will create the CVSROOT folder for you. *If* you have not been able to import anythign into cvs I recommend doing this: rm -rf /home/cvs # WARNING this will erase any existing modules mkdir /home/cvs cvs -d /home/cvs init
now, your CVSROOT will be: export CVSROOT=:local:/home/cvs and to login you can do: export CVSROOT=:local:/home/cvs cvs login or cvs -d :local:/home/cvs login On Thu, 2002-09-05 at 18:44, Gabe Pinar wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm new so please bear with me. > > I installed cvs-1.11.2 from ftp://ftp.cvshome.org/pub/ on a Redhat 7.2 > server.
