If you add just 'boost', you will retrieve complete boost tree. If you need
only `ublas', you can write:

     cvs -d:pserver:anonymous_at_[hidden]:/cvsroot/boost
     checkout -r matrix_development boost/boost/numeric/ublas

to get headers, and

     cvs -d:pserver:anonymous_at_[hidden]:/cvsroot/boost
     checkout -r matrix_development boost/libs/numeric/ublas

to get docs and tests.

Also, if you have `gzip', you can speed up transfer by adding `-z9':

     cvs -d:pserver:anonymous_at_[hidden]:/cvsroot/boost
     -z9 checkout -r matrix_development boost/boost/numeric/ublas

Quoted from `cvs' man page:

        -z compression-level
               When transferring files across the network use gzip
               with compression level `compression-level'  to  com­-
               press  and  de-compress  data as it is transferred.
               Requires the presence of the GNU  gzip  program  in
               the current search path at both ends of the link.

Sincerely,
