How to check out the latest version of Drupal modules from CVS

I am having some trouble with jscalendar and the views date module, so I want to make sure I have the "latest cvs version" (of the DRUPAL-5 branch!).

This also shows how to set up a whole site with spanking new stable branch code. Source: Drupal Handbook page .

First check out Drupal itself:

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous:anonymous@cvs.drupal.org:/cvs/drupal checkout -r DRUPAL-5 -d mysite drupal

Then check out any modules you want (actually, should put them in ./sites all, but this is just an example, here I am the date module in ./modules/date)
