Re: fresh install of 6.0 - cvs

Aha, this is probably what was going on. I used su to add my user to the group, then had just exited to my user shell to continue with the faq. I'll probably do a fresh install and ensure it works out, and to make sure I don't have any issues with CVS. Thanks for the help! Stephen J. Trotter On

Also I should mention that I was able to get the commands to work by going into /usr/src and running from there, but did find afterward that a new copy of src was put into the folder ( i.e. /usr/src/src/ ) so I did end up moving everything up a directory. I am not sure, will this affect cvs in the
