+To access a remote cvs server, here is an example:
+<code>
+
+# Set env variable
+export EDITOR=/bin/vi
+export CVSROOT=:pserver:yourname@cvs.tldp.org:/cvsroot
+
+# Login to remote cvs server
+cvs -d $CVSROOT login
+
+# Goto some local directory
+cd $HOME/<somedirectory>
+
+# You MUST create a new directory, as below... 
+mkdir cvsroot   # Create the local cvs directory which has the same name as in CVSROOT 
+
+# Now get the files from remote CVS repository
+cd cvsroot 
+cvs get LDP/howto   # Or you can do 'cvs get . ' which will get everything
+
+# After you make changes some file and later check-in that do
+cd $HOME/<somedirectory>/cvsroot
