I am new to programming on linux and I was experimenting with cvs off of
instructions out of a book.
It told me to type "cvs -d helloworld.cvsroot init" after creating the
directory ofcourse.
I then got the error....
cvs init: CVSROOT "helloworld.cvsroot" must be an absolute path name
how can I correct this?
I assume this has something to do with path since this worked when I
created the directory directly in my home directory.
But I would like to organize my files within my home directory like...
/dev/java/helloworld/helloword.cvsroot
Is this ok to do?
