Assignment 1 Building FireFox

Problems I Encountered Along The Way
The first problem I had was trying to start the project. Normally I am use to the instructions being in one document. This time I had to look for multiple sources. In the Windows Build Prerequisite page [ http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Windows_Build_Prerequisites]I had a choice in using CVS or the tar files to build the firefox application. I first tried to download the tar files of the FireFox source. The problem was that I could not make heads or tails of it.
The next problem that I had was when I tried to log onto the CVS using Cygwin I got the error messagetelling me that the CVS root has not been specified. I followed the instructions when it came to issuing the command from the Mozilla build page which was cvs -d :pserver:anonymous:anonymous@cvs-mirror.mozilla.org:/cvsroot co mozilla/browser/config/mozconfig
