Andy,
Ther are several remote access methods. What you are using now?
>From the linux environment that works for you, do:
env|grep CVS
this should list the cvs variables and point out the access method.
You'll have to do something similar to access the repository from your
XP machine -- you'll need some sort of cvs client on your XP, though.
Regards,
Mark

Subject: Accessing a Linux CVS repository from Windows
Hello,
I am trying to checkout files from a CVS repository located on a
Linux
NFS partition, onto my Windows XP laptop. I've read several user guides
on
the web for WinCVS, Tortoise CVS, and CVSNT, and they all mention that
in
order to do this I must have an account on the Linux server on which the
CVS
server is running. However, I do not have an account on the server - is
there any way to work around this and accomplish what I'm trying to do?
In
the Linux environment, all I have to do is type "cvs co <module>", and
I'm
able to checkout files - I'd like to be able to do the same thing using
a
Windows client. If anyone has experience doing this, I would really
appreciate you insight.
Thanks,
Andy
