OK, ets co "ETS>3.0.0b" worked with the final messages

All project source has been checked out to "G:\enthought\ETS_3.0.0b1"

THE SOURCE FOR THE FOLLOWING PROJECTS COULD NOT BE LOCATED:
        configobj       No match found for project specification 
"configobj" --
Required by parent project ETSProjectTools
HINT: Perhaps try again with more "-r" options?

I have configobj 4.4.0 and 4.5.3 installed so not sure why I got that 
last message.

On to building the eggs....

The code.enthought.com/source page has a section called "Building from 
Source" with a link "Installation from Source" which takes you to
the https://svn.enthought.com/enthought/wiki/Build page titled 
"Enthought Installation from Source Home Page"

This page doesn't explicitly help me to work out how to build the eggs 
as I'm trying to build ETS 3.0.0b1 on WIndows XP. So I clicked on the 
2.6.0b1 link for Windows XP which took me to the 
https://svn.enthought.com/enthought/wiki/Build/ETS_2.6.0b1/Py2.5/Win_XP_i386 
page
in which I found a note about how to get egg_builder.py

I think I would have struggled to find this if it wasn't for the fact 
that I already know I need egg_builder.py as I have an older version.

I've now run egg_builder.py which has built the eggs and put them into a 
/dist directory which is as follows...

Next I'm going to do a complete clean install of Python 2.5 on another 
machine and then install the eggs.

I normally use easy_install to install eggs so I'll install Setuptools 
after installing Python.

So far so good.
