Before you can actually use CVS, you need to get it installed on your system.
The easiest way to test to see if it's installed is to type:
# cvs
If a cvs command is found, then you've got it! Otherwise, you'll need to either
track down a binary package for your particular distribution, or install it
from sources. Installing CVS from sources is actually quite simple, and I'll
show you how in the next panel.
