I'm kind of up against the wall with this thing. Can't seem to get it. I created /usr/local/ncvs, setenv CVSROOT /usr/local/ncvs & tried to do what I thought would be simpler & a good trial run on something simpler than the whole source tree. I did a cvsup on www & got it okay. Then I went into /usr/local/www & did a make install. It started filling up /root with public_html & finally stopped on an error, saying the CVSROOT environment setting was invalid. What am I doing wrong?
