But after chugging along for quite a while it gave up with: cvs [server aborted]: out of memory; can not allocate 1044137 bytes Doesn't sount too much to me unless it is talking about kb of course... Anyway, after this the server is sort of inaccessible. I can't even see its administrative share anymore to check the size of the file. It won't respond to a remote reboot command so I am a bit stuck, it is located about 10.000 km away from me. Someone on location has to restart it, I think. :-( /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
