There is already an anonymous FTP server installed, but we are unsure what contents needs to be there. Could someone point us to a description how to get a conforming FreeBSD FTP mirror set up? Mirror what from where, is the question. My current idea is to just put some ISO images of install CDs there and mount them as vn devices; but surely that can't be enough? I'm also considering to set up an anonymous CVS server. Because of the CVSUP, the contents is there anyway, so it's merely a question of activating the :pserver: and pointing it to the CVSUP repository. Is there demand for such a server, and are there any reasons why the CVSUP repository might be unsuitable as a CVSROOT?
