1: Since the people at cvshome.org are not providing binaries, they are not responsible for binaries that could contain virusses or trojan horses. That's basically what the disclaimer says. 2: It all boils down to: $ configure $ make $ make test $ su -c 'make install' Read the approriate documentation and do what it says.
