I _thin= k_ > that's all been sent to Marcelo for 2.4.19 though.=20 I'm a newbie with CVS... but the paragraph above makes it sound like ther= e are a number of different branches, and that the one I need is called 2.4.19-pre. So I tried: cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@cvs.infradead.org:/home/cvs co -r 2.4.19-pre mtd but got back: cvs [server aborted]: Numeric tag 2.4.19-pre contains characters other th= an digits and '.' So I tried: cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@cvs.infradead.org:/home/cvs co -r 2.4.19 mtd and that seemed to work i.e. it said the right things about "Updating mtd= " etc but actually it downloaded nothing ;-( Help much appreciated! *************************************************** John Sutton SCL Internet URL http://www.scl.co.uk/ Tel. +44 (0) 1239 711 888 ***************************************************
