Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Is it possible to setup a local mirror for ftp-based installs of FreeBSD? For locally-sourced cvsup's? I can see installing FreeBSD enough times in the near future that it would be nice to be able to use the standard install floppy set but source the files off of a local ftp server, both to speed installation and to take a load of my uplink and the public servers. The same holds true, only more so, for cvs updates. It seems like it would make more sense to keep a master copy on one machine and then let the other machines get their upgrades from it. I suppose the question isn't "possible" but "are there any docs on how to do this?" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
