If you know German, you could try http://www.linux-magazin.de and search for cvs, they had a short series of a tutorial a year ago or so. > I would like to download the konquerer file manager since the snapshot doesn't > compile. (from ftp.kde.org the 0828 bzip2 file) As long as you don't have a real cvs account (there is no anonymous cvs), you need to use cvsup (see http://www.kde.org/cvsup.html). > I would like to know what to configure in cvs to retreive sources from a local > mirror. I have CVS, and know how to use it (well with local repositories anyway) There is no difference between local or remote repositories, just set the appropriate CVSROOT - that's all. > BTW.
