Hi,

I have setup the sup server on my machine. Before that, I had to configure 
it as a sup client of freefall.

I also want to be a mirror of the FreeBSD anon ftp site. Unfortunately,
I have severe problems with the mirror program. It eats up my system's
resources and finally crashes it. So I wonder if it would be possible to 
mirror the ftp site with sup. That would be very convenient.

I have also wondered if it would be possible and advisable to save disk 
space by symlinking e.g. my /usr/src tree, which is updated from freefall
with sup, to the FreeBSD-stable directory in the anon ftp directory. The 
same could be done with the ports directory.

Michael
