Oops - that won't work, for a checkout you need to tell it where to
do to fetch the data, so you need

	cvs -d :ext:anoncvs@anoncvs.netbsd.org:/cvsroot checkout -P src

(still with the -r netbsd-1-6 if you're afetr the 1.6 branch instead of
current, and with -q still a useful option to cvs).

Do note that each of "cvs" and the cvs command, "checkout" here, have
their own set of options - where you put the option matters.
