Ok, it seems that I got lucky the first time, cause now I 
can't repeat it.

When I try the following command:

cvs -z3 address@hidden:/webcvs/ co non-
gnu/cage/ (in directory C:\Apache\htdocs)

or

cvs -z3 address@hidden:/cage co cage/ (in 
directory C:\Apache\htdocs)

I get the following error:

cvs checkout: CVSROOT "address@hidden:/webcvs/" 
must be an absolute pathname
cvs [checkout aborted]: Bad CVSROOT.

respectivly

cvs checkout: CVSROOT "address@hidden:/cage" 
must be an absolute pathname
cvs [checkout aborted]: Bad CVSROOT.

So, it seems something went wrong somewhere (please don't 
ask me where, since I was so tired when I succeseded and 
the morning after I hadn't any idea of what I really did).

On the other hand I can commit to the webcvs (since it's 
allready there, or something).

Sorry for the hassle.

regards, tomas

Hi,

I do not know how to help you since your problem seems to be
a bug in the software you use. Especially while you have no
problem working the the webcvs (same software, same
configuration).

Please, retry and look in the documentation of cvs's client
you use .
