If you create a Berkeley repository on a network drive, it WILL corrupt the repository. Don't do that. Either, do not use a network drive (the "official" recommended way), or if you have to use a network drive, then use FSFS. The nasty thing about Berkeley repositories is that it may even accidentially work, but it will fail any time later, and you will lose all your data, but you won't know why.

lol, yes, the SVN manual is plagged with "Use FSFS!!! Use FSFS!!! Berkeley DBs will explode!!" :lol:
I guess FSFS are safer :P

It is not necesary, if you use FSFS and file:///

Why? If it should only be local, accessible by nobody else (not even on the LAN) then you can use svn file:///path/to/repo which will work just fine.

What exactly is the error message you get?

I was doing the import backwards it works now...... The thing is right now I want it to be local so I can learn how to use SVN.... Later though I may set up an actual SVN server.

Just a heads up.

Note that (at least in Linux0 SmartSVN, the java based GUI interface, does not like the local file: protocol.  It prefers the svn: protocol.  Don't know if this is a similar issue in Windows, but I suspect it is. Of course there are other GUI front ends which may not have this little quirk.
Anyway Installing svnserve and getting it going is a snap.

There is a great downloadable document from the subversion site.  Which actually points to http://svnbook.red-bean.com/
