[cvsnt] Re: Problem: cvs.exe - No Disk

[Bo Berglund]

First off:
Go to the CVSNT server and reconfigure it to use a repository prefix.
then you can remove the first part of the repositry name in the command
including the D: and probably it will start working.

While you are there:
Uninstall this ancient CVSNT version and install the new release instead.
Build 57a must be seceral years old now...

Strange.

The Client version of CVS is 2.0.4
The Server version is 1.11.1.3 Build 57a

The checkout directory is c:\whatever
the zip drive is drive D:

I put a zip disk in drive D:
I then did
cvs -d :pserver:username at host:D:/CVSDirectory/repository login

Notice the D:
D: should refer to the Host drive, not the local drive D:
Would cvs try the local drive D first?

Thank you for or quick responses!
