CVSROOT is the name of an environment variable that you set using your shell to point to a full CVS repository somewhere on your system. For example, you might want to use 'setenv CVSROOT /home/ncvs' or something similar. To actually get the full repository, you are going to need to use a tool like CVSup. Read the FreeBSD handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/handbook), then check out the example supfile /usr/share/examples/cvsup/cvs-supfile. Note that this supfile is only for downloading the full CVS repository, which runs to several GB, most users only want the actual source in which case you use the stable-supfile. You should read http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/releng/release-build.html for more information on building a release. Andrew.
