then i got the answer:

And I tried this whit the following result:
<snippet>
tomas@burken:~$ cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.gote.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/gote
Usage: cvs [cvs-options] command [command-options-and-arguments]
where cvs-options are -q, -n, etc.
(specify --help-options for a list of options)
where command is add, admin, etc.
(specify --help-commands for a list of commands
or --help-synonyms for a list of command synonyms)
where command-options-and-arguments depend on the specific command
(specify -H followed by a command name for command-specific help)
Specify --help to receive this message
The Concurrent Versions System (CVS) is a tool for version control.
For CVS updates and additional information, see
Cyclic Software at http://www.cyclic.com/ or
Pascal Molli's CVS site at http://www.loria.fr/~molli/cvs-index.html

I also tried the version mentiod above with -z3, this didn't work either.
So I problaby screwed the cvs setup. I'll try to redo that, but in the meantime, maybe someone knows something else I could try.
regards,
tomas
