(Was 'problem cvs.exe No Disk')
I setup a test locally to look into this matter further. Using a detachable
floppy on my laptop, I was able to reproduce the problem seen with the zip
drive.
The Conclusion: When the cvsroot to a remote repository contains a drive
letter that is the same as a local removable drive letter; and there is no
disk in that removable drive, and error will occur.
Would this be considered a bug?
Thanks,
