hi

down load the the required cvs version from cvshome.org either as a tarball or rpm,

if its a rpm use

rpm -ivh cvs*.rpm
then it will install the required files in your system

try cvs from the prompt it will give you the usage style


If you want to use it for some product the first create the repository (say e.g 
product)

# mkdir -P /product/CVSROOT    (Considering that u want                 it in the root 
"/" directory or u can create it                 anywhere u want i have taken it as 
say "/"  )

#chmod -R 775 /product
#chown cvs.cvs -R /product      changing the ownership to                              
         cvs users
Now go to your source directory say Product1 & import them to cvs repository for this 
case it is /product.

# cd /Product1
#cvs -d /product import -m "New Repository for Product" Product1/. vendor_tag start_tag

where vendor & start_tag is any tag you want to give , -m is for the comment to be 
given in the " "
Product1/. mean all the file under this directory to the repository /product

# chmod -R 775 /product
# chown cvs.cvs -R /product

thats all

then access it from anywhere using cvs checkout command along with the option.

there is a good frontend for cvs called wincvs to be used from win98 or nt


Hope this will help you
