Question: How do I get Tiki CVS from the command line?
Answer: 

type or copy paste (ctrl+shift+v to console)
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/tikiwiki login
hit return
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/tikiwiki co tikiwiki
The -z is for Zip compression
The -d is for Directory
co is checkout

Question: How do I check the cvs for changes but without changing anything?
Answer: 

cvs -nq update
Attempt to execute the cvs_command, but only to issue reports; do it quietly. update changes your working directory but not the depository.
