What am I doing wrong?

I have visted the http://www.cvshome.org/docs/blandy.html to try learn
how to connect to cvs.
I am running Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.5 (client/server)
and am trying to update mozilla to run nudev
nudev requires me to update mozilla which wants me to update via cvs.
But I am stuck, this is what I have done so far:

[root@localhost root]# export
http_proxy=http://chadley:xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx:80
[root@localhost root]# set CVSROOT
:pserver:anonymous@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/cvsroot

Try
[root@localhost root]# export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/cvsroot
[root@localhost root]# cvs co <module name>

Note, there does not appear to be a module name called httpc in this CVS server...

You might want to visit:
http://mozilla.org/catalog/development/compiling/cvs-sourcecode.html

This explicitly informs you *NOT* to checkout mozilla, but rather ftp download the archive, and then update the tree.

[root@localhost root]# cvs checkout httpc cvs checkout: No CVSROOT specified! Please use the `-d' option
cvs [checkout aborted]: or set the CVSROOT environment variable.
[root@localhost root]#
Not having any clue here this is greek to me.
