[Coco] [Color Computer] What happend to http://www.nitros9.org/

[Boisy Pitre]

Brian,

Have you tried using CVS to pull down the NitrOS-9 repository to your  
system?  If so, please report the results, along with exact commands  
used and errors received.

CVS has been used successfully to bring the project along for almost  
10 years now.  Any problems that I've seen people having with CVS  
came about through their own ignorance and not with any fault of the  
system itself.  It is solid software.

If you want to download NitrOS-9 disk images, then you don't need  
CVS; however, if you plan on doing development, then CVS is a must to  
both obtain and contribute source code to the project.

Again, I am asking for those who have actually tried to use CVS to  
pull down the NitrOS-9 repository from SourceForge to respond with  
their results.

Boisy
