Anyway, 2.0.5 + No, but the software is free, the disk is not! Anyways, we already have a caching HTTP proxy here, so there should not be much work involved in setting up ftp access. I am more worried about two things: * we are on an academic net, I have no idea if we can show ourselves under a different domain name. * our connection with the US is very flakey. At times we have >70% of packet losses, which makes it very hard to mirror things directly from the US site. I will have to look for a source wich is connected more reliably. > 2.1.0 + X11 (both versions) + packages ~ 1.2 Gb on ftp.ibenet.it. > Tell me when you're ready to go, I'll put your host in the DNS > tables for it.freebsd.org. Although the approval might come in a matter of days, it is going to take some time before I can buy the disk and set up things. Didn't mention before, but my two months old baby is taking up much of my spare time :) Cheers Luigi ==================================================================== Luigi Rizzo Dip. di Ingegneria dell'Informazione email: luigi@iet.unipi.it Universita' di Pisa tel: +39-50-568533 via Diotisalvi 2, 56126 PISA (Italy) fax: +39-50-568522 http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/ ====================================================================
