Hmm. WFM, WinXP: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [~] $ mkdir -p /cygdrive/e/data/cvs [EMAIL PROTECTED] [~] $ cvs -d/cygdrive/e/data/cvs init [EMAIL PROTECTED] [~] $ cvs -d/cygdrive/e/data/cvs checkout CVSROOT cvs checkout: Updating CVSROOT U CVSROOT/checkoutlist U CVSROOT/commitinfo U CVSROOT/config U CVSROOT/cvswrappers U CVSROOT/editinfo U CVSROOT/loginfo U CVSROOT/modules U CVSROOT/notify U CVSROOT/rcsinfo U CVSROOT/taginfo U CVSROOT/verifymsg Given the error messages, I guess you should check to see if init actually produced a CVSROOT.
