Thanks for the reply (and effort you put into it) - another development
machine not an option. And the absolute paths, yes, they could be
avoided.

What I find a bit boring with *my* current configuration, is that when I
have been working on my checkout version, and commited. Then I am forced
to do an export and then cp -R the stuff to docroot. - There must be an
easier way ? Maybe a Makefile that does the stuff for me ? So after
commting, I go to docroot and type "make" - and then my docroot is
up-to-date.

However, since there are a few dir's that are not in my cvsrep, (e.g.
mrtg, webalizer, etc etc) - I need the Makefile to check for "flagged"
file/dir names, cause if someone commits a dir called 'mrtg', then when
I do an export - well, then I am screwed ;)

There must be someone with the same problem...
