how to create a module

[Sangeetha Parthasarathy]

Hi,
I have come to the end of my tether trying to create a module. Please
let me know what I am doing wrong.
This is what I am doing. From the cvs.org I got the pricedure to create
a module in an existing repository, which is as follows.

Step 1:
Get a working copy of the modules file.

$ cvs checkout CVSROOT/modules
$ cd CVSROOT

Step 2:
Edit the file and insert a line that defines the module.

 To define the module `quotes' inside project source/mod1/mod2/

  quotes   source/mod1/mod2/quotes

Step 3:
Commit your changes to the modules file.

  $ cvs commit -m "Added the quotes module." modules


Step 4:
Release the modules module.

$ cd ..
$ cvs release -d CVSROOT


Please let me know what I am doing wrong.
Thanks
Sangeetha
