ABS via Windows

Hey all. I dont' have a 'net connection at home, but I want to set up some custom-compiled packages via ABS. Doesn't anybody know of a way to download the ABS CVS tree from a Win2K machine (from my work) and then set that up on my Arch box at home as the source of the ABS tree?

Hey that's an interesting problem! Hehe, not being a CVS expert the best thing I can think of is to download the Arch LiveCD (there's a couple floating around, check the forums) and chuck that on a USB key or something writable, boot from it on your work computer, run abs as root to do your thing and then take it home and copy over the binaries + /var/abs

Not sure if that would even work but it's all I got sorry
