Cannot "cvs ... checkout xemacs-packages" under Windows NT

When I was checking out the xemacs packages, I got the same error report under Windows95. BTW, where can I get the document (or FAQ) about building and installing XEmacs and its packages. I am interested in joining the development team. When compiling, I got many compiling warnings. When I tried to install, the error was 'makeinfo not found'. I am using Cygnus' gcc compiler. Do I have to install the info files? If possible, how to avoid compiling and installing the info files? Thanks. Bo
