I too found the installation guide lacking--but instead of flaming the
product of a volunteer's efforts, I offered to help improve it.  There are
other issues with the product too, but your approach shows you lack the
courage to do anything about it.

I suggest you either put your time & sweat where your mouth is and help
improve it or STFU, because no one wants to hear your rants.

I support the efforts of the CVSNT team--I think the goals are worthwhile,
the effort the main contributor puts into it are outstanding, and the fact
this is all done with volunteers is admirable.  It isn't perfect, but I for
one am ready to help where and when I can.

Sincerely,

There is an installation guide that claims to exist as a result of a barrage
of complaints and you have to wonder about the quality if it takes a storm
of comments just to get the install tested and documented. Once you find
this missing DLL can then follow the installation guide which is NFG to put
it politely. It's full of noise and missing critical steps: e.g, there is no
way you can create a repository until you add your CVS install directory to
the path. There is a checkbox that shows up on the information page about
anti-virus but no text next to it? Now I understand why so many steer people
away from this version of CVS. I don't think pathetic is too strong a word
given we are now well into 2003.

On the other hand it would not be fair assume it's all that different given
the common code base and I am sure it works fine. They need to make the
first time experience a positive one with a little regression testing and
proper documentation. Still, think we will wipe out our 2000 box and put
Linux on it and use something that works out of the box. Had no trouble
installing CVS on Linux at all.
