cd [your local directory] rsync -av rsync://moodle.cvs.sourceforge.net/cvsroot/moodle/moodle . rsync -av rsync://moodle.cvs.sourceforge.net/cvsroot/moodle/contrib . rsync -av rsync://moodle.cvs.sourceforge.net/cvsroot/moodle/mysql . rsync -av rsync://moodle.cvs.sourceforge.net/cvsroot/moodle/lang .
