Hi Paul,
thanks for your help! As there is an instruction how to install EMC2 on 
4.38 at linuxcnc.org, I decided to install 4.38 and try it out again. 
But when I enter "cvs 
-d:pserver:anonymous at cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/emc login" in the 
bash, I get the message: "bash: cvs: command not found". Do you now 
whats wrong there? I am quite unfamiliar with Linux, so please excuse 
questions, which seem to be stupid.
Greetings
Martin
