I am at the final stage of day one. I am using subversion 1.2 on a windows xp machine. The following command raises an error:
svnadmin create $SVNREP_DIR/askeet
Error:
svnadmin: Repository creation failed
svnadmin: Could not creat top level direcotry
svnadmin: Can't create direcorry '$SVNREP_DIR/askeet': The system cannot find the path specified
