I think this should be $ svn checkout file:///$HOME/svn_repos/newrepo I know that with the cd command before, $PWD and $HOME are the same, but it's safer to use $HOME, as it will always point to the correct location. Also, notice the three /. According to the book you should either have file://localhost/$HOME... Or file:///$HOME... However I tried on a RHEL and file://$HOME works too Giulio Linedata Limited Registered Office: 85 Gracechurch St., London, EC3V 0AA Registered in England and Wales No 3475006 VAT Reg No 710 3140 03
