[cvsnt] Re: Problem: cvs.exe - No Disk

[Joe Enfield]

Strange.

The Client version of CVS is 2.0.4
The Server version is 1.11.1.3 Build 57a

The checkout directory is c:\whatever
the zip drive is drive D:

I put a zip disk in drive D:
I then did
cvs -d :pserver:username at host:D:/CVSDirectory/repository login

Notice the D:
D: should refer to the Host drive, not the local drive D:
Would cvs try the local drive D first?

Thank you for or quick responses!
