This might take some time to check out all of WWW/Style/Group, so just let it run for a while.

You now have a checkout of the W3C Member-Only ''WWW/Style/Group'' CVS repository.

Creating new directories, getting updates, and checking in works exactly the same as for the public repository. All the repository-specific information is contained in the folders of your checkout, so CVS doesn't have to be told which server to get updates from etc.

If you're in the CSS Working group, you probably also want to check out the ''WWW/Style/CSS'' CVS repository. Do a quick:
780+
781+
<code bash>pwd</code>
782+
783+
if the path returned ends with "/WWW/Style/Group" then cd back out of it:
784+
785+
<code bash>cd ../../..</code>
786+
787+
and then issue a new check out command like before but with the ''WWW/Style/CSS'':
788+
789+
<code bash>cvs -d Tantekelik@cvs.w3.org:/w3ccvs co WWW/Style/CSS</code>
790+
791+
again with your username instead of "Tantekelik".
792+
793+
You should see messages like:
794+
795+
<code>cvs.bin checkout: Updating WWW/Style/CSS
796+
U WWW/Style/CSS/.Disclosures.var
797+
U WWW/Style/CSS/.Overview.var
798+
U WWW/Style/CSS/.htaccess
799+
</code>
800+
...
801+
etc.
802+
803+
In fact, if all you wanted was stuff inside ''WWW/Style/CSS'', then you can simply check that out instead of checking out ''WWW/Style/Group''. As of this writing the ''WWW/Style/CSS'' checkout will take about .... (still checking out) MB.
