Hi Bo,

It worked after checkout.

I am new on cvs and have filled the repository until now by adding all
directories one by one (until the status shifted from "local") and added the
files from the directories and commited the additions. The only problem i
had is with this one file in the root and your comment helped. Thanks for
that.

And now, I have verified that the initial checkout on one another client did
work.

Regards,

Nenad.
