For anyone who was in the same place as me, the CVS package works much better (and more stabily, I haven't had a problem and I've been running it like mad...mostly to make up for the fact I hadn't had it for so long!)
Go here for the CVS package:
http://dcgui.berlios.de/cvs.php
And then follow the instructions in the Konsole: download, compile, and run.
This will take about half an hour, so sit back and relax...read a book, take a bath.....
Once finished, you will have to run it through Konsole every time you want to use it.
If someone knows how to create a shortcut for a program that runs through Konsole, please let me know.
