Re: [OT ?] *WIN*CVS setup questions

[New Bie 123]

Two more questions :

1)  If cd /home/abc/mycvs_code is the general directory where I
have many sub directories, like  /freedos, /freesomethingelse
etc. etc., which one do I "browse to" - to 

cd/home/abc/mycvs_code/freedos 
or 
**just** cd /home/abc/mycvs_code 


2) when I've set cd /home/abc/mycvs_code/freedos as the directory
(using the binocular) button, and then try ->remote ->checkout
module, I get a checkout settings tab
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Here I've set the following :
----------------------------------------

Module name and path on server :
:pserver:address@hidden:/cvsroot/freedos 

Local Folder to checout to : /home/abc/mycvs_code/freedos

And when I press enter, I get :

-----------------------------------------------
cvs checkout: Empty password used - try 'cvs login' with a real password
cvs server: cannot find module
address@hidden:/cvsroot/freedos' - ignored
cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot expand modules
***** CVS exited normally with code 1 *****
-----------------------------------------------

Where am I wrong ?


Thanks

NB
