The command you're looking for is:

cvs -z3 
-d:pserver:anonymous at pyfuzzy.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/pyfuzzy co -P 
pyfuzzy

this didn't come out quite right on thunderbird for me, it's meant to be 
all on one line.

Do not be afraid to joust a giant just because some people believe in 
windmills.
