That's a bit ambiguous. Does it mean you are having problems with the network side of things, or that you are unfamiliar with CVS? If it's the former, see kevlinux's reply. If it's the latter, an intro can be had from the book that served as my intro to Linux, O'Reilly's "Running Linux", now in its 4th edition, IIRC. It was well worth the read, and by the time I was thru reading it almost cover to cover, I figure I saved myself at least three months of full time familiarising myself with Linux, so it was well worth the $35-ish I think it cost me. Very briefly, CVS=Concurrent Versioning System. It's what many free/libre and open source software projects use to manage their source tree, altho it's a bit long in the tooth, these days. You have to have the CVS application package installed on your system, to be able to connect to the Gnome CVS server where PAN's source is stored, and check it out anonymously (read-only). Thus, if you've been trying to connect with a regular web browser or something, yes, you'll have problems. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
