The error message states very clearly what you did wrong.  Look at the
examples.  You're trying to use F:\Temp as your local repository.  CVSNT 
doesn't
like that (and you shouldn't use a temp directory, IMHO).  Your repository 
name must 
begin with a forward-slash (/).  You'll also want to avoid using 
'/CVSROOT' to
avoid confusion.  I'm assuming F: is a local partition and not a network 
share?
