Hi,

Browsing CVS

You can browse the GNU CVS repository via the CVSweb interface. 

You can also use the standard GNU CVS utility to obtain anonymous read-only access: 

$ cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs login
Password: [just hit enter]
$

You only need to login once, as CVS will save your password in ~/.cvspass. After that, 
you can do any CVS operation, such as: 

$ cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs checkout module
[...]

where module is the name of the CVS module you are interested in. 

<<

Here, module would be either hurd or gnumach.

You should look at the documentation on cvs.  Either:

% info cvs

or online at:
http://www.gnu.org/manual/cvs-1.9/cvs.html

Regards,
-Neal
