Thanks

This worked for me, and to explain why I've been trying to checkout
sources under both windows and linux is because:

1. My only internet connection at home is via wireless
2. The only wireless card in my laptop is a 4965AGN, and I have a
symbol spectrum 24 which doesn't pick up any signals
3. I dual boot this laptop with fedora 9 which supports my wireless
cards, and checkout sources via svn

When I checkout from http://svn.freebsd.org/base/head I see that under
/usr/src/head/share/man/man4/ several files are missing, one of them
is acpi_video.4, it simply doesn't show up, and breaks
buildworld.....not hallucinating, i tried it from scratch a few times!
If however I use svn under cygwin, everything downloads fine.

The other thing I tried earlier was to download src via tortoise svn
on my work laptop which runs windows xp.....
