first time to colinux, SVN help

[jimbob]

Attempting my first build, I am following the simpleguidetocompiling guide and the colinuxdevelopment guide.  Using colinux, I am able to log in as user rockdev with password rb, but am unable to use the command getsvn.  Typing in the full address doesn't help either.  I get the error unknown hostname 'svn.rockbox.org'  I also tried downloading the daily build and extracting it to the colinux\.rockbox folder but don't know how to cd to my C:\ drive from the colinux console.  Checking dir only returns tmp, which has a bunch of assorted what looks like aliases in it.  Not that great with linux, but assume one of them is a label for my drive.  Anyways, any help appreciated.

The command is svn co svn://svn.rockbox.org/rockbox/trunk rockbox according to that wiki page.  Did you use that?

If so, do you have internet access?

[jimbob]

yup, and yup.  although i am wireless.

It sounds like you do not have (at least) DNS resolution from within your CoLinix distribution.
Can you ping google.com?
Can you ping 72.14.207.99?

...and just in case it's not obvious, soap obviously means for you to do this from within your colinux environnment, not your usual windows one.
