Why don't you have access to cvs? 

If you are behind a firewall, install  socks-server on the firewall, cvs
run's o.k. using socks.

Any other reason? If you have access to ftp, you should have access to cvs
too.

That's not enough :( , gnome-core alone takes that (with the .o files),
and it's only 1 of several modules you need.

esound          gnome-core      gnome-objc      gtk--
CVSROOT         gcalendar       gnome-games     gnome-utils     imlib
ORBit           gcb.tar.gz      gnome-graphics  gnomoney        mc
build           gimp            gnome-libs      gnoom           mico
config          gimp-data-min   gnome-media     gsirc
docs            gnome-admin     gnome-network   gtk+

These dir's take up 300 Megs on my system.
