There are mistakes in the command you type? Where did you
get them?

At http://savannah.nongnu.org/cvs/?group=cage , we get the
following:

Software repository:

export CVS_RSH=ssh

cvs -z3 -d<developername>@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/cage
co <modulename>

Webpages repository:

export CVS_RSH=ssh

cvs -z3 -d<developername>@subversions.gnu.org:/webcvs co
non-gnu/cage

Can you try with these commands?

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
