We a lot of FreeBSD machines internally and would like to have a better way to do upgrades on them rather than upgrading each one of them over the Internet. Our idea is to keep all the necessary files on one ftp server here and then just do the upgrades from there. It would obviously go faster and would cut down on our bandwidth over the Internet. My question is basically this: What directories do we need to copy down from ftp.freebsd.org in order to do this? Do we need just what is in 'distfiles' or do we need '2.2.2-RELEASE' or both? I'm sure someone out there has done this and we're just curious as to what we need to download. I realize that we could do it with a cdrom but we don't have that many drives and the ones we do have are only 2x, so over the net off of a hard drive array would be much faster. Thanks in advance.
