How to migrate from CVS to SVN by using cvs2svn tool?

Question

I want to migrate from CVS to SVN by using cvs2svn tool. I want a step by step process on how to migrate. I have no idea about the usage of the tools.

Basically I am a java fresher. I dont have knowledge on cvs2svn tool and neither on python too. But my task is to migrate from CVS repository to SVN repository. Can any one help me how to do this? I want complete step by step in a brief way.

I have downloaded cvs2svn 2.3 tool in C:drive and Python 2.4.4 in c: drive and silksvn 1.7.1 tool in c:drive? Now what should I do next? I dont know how to use them to make my task complete.

Please suggest me a step-by-step tutorial or a link or e-book or tell me.
