I too had a question regarding CVS, under Ubuntu (5.10).
It dosnt seem to be available by default, and i'm new to the debian system (have been using rpms all along). I wanted to download the source of l4-hurd. How do i install cvs and set it up.
How do i install cvs and set it up.

There are no shortcuts to learning new things. Besides that, CVS is extremely well documented, and doesn't have any gotchas; especially if you want to download sources from a repository.
However, if you want to get started in version control for maintaining your own projects, I'd suggest you use SVN. It makes shooting yourself in the foot that much more difficult.
AFA CVS goes, you should be able to "Google" yourself to fairly good documentation.
And remember, before posting your question to the list remember: Please, please, please do your own homework/study/research to see if someone has already solved your problem :).
Warm regards,
ah

I could download hurd-l4 from instructions given here. though am still wondering what to do about this source code.
