Hi,

nice that the prob moved to chapter 5 - but the command still did not work!

i'm a rookie in subversion but have ca 15 years experience as sysadmin for  
linux -
and i would like to confirm comments 3n4 from wolfvolpi & cmpilato:

'the parent of that path -- must exist before 'svnadmin create''

please change that in the quick tutorial as well as in every tutorial 'bout  
this:

Before you can execute the command svnadmin create /var/svn/repos please  
make sure you did run the following commands as root (because a user hasn't  
write permissions in /var):

mkdir /var/svn

then make the directory available for all users:

chmod 777 /var/svn

dunno wether there's a better way regarding user permissions, maybe it  
would be better to just chown the svn/repos to the user that needs lateron  
access to that directory but anyway, this is really mandatory in order to  
make that command work properly

thx 4 listening, rgrds, peter
