Okay, I appreciate that. I'm not a gambler, but I
would've given odds it wasn't cvs's fault. :-) I
knew I wasn't understanding how to do it. I want
it here local for me & the others here. I didn't
think about not having to be root to install it.
That helps a lot, since there's a lot more room
on /home. Also, I read somewhere that I could
create a group, ncvs, add a user to it, & then
I guess I could do like you said. I.E., logon as
that user, have a directory below /usr/local/ncvs,
& do the make install in that directory, as there
is even more room on /usr. Correct me on that last
assumption if I'm wrong. If not, no need for reply.
I've bugged everyone enough already with this. :)
Thanks again.
