OK, so that was wishful thinking. For the early stages, it might be advisable to add: --exclude branches --exclude FreeBSD-CVS --exclude mailing-lists to the command line. These have many, many files and take quite a while to sync up. While we are in catch-up mode, I think it would be an idea to leave these out for the moment. An alternative may be to cvsup these files directly and completely bypass ftp-master. There are supfiles in these areas, as well as in doc/mailing-lists/ Cheers, -Peter -- Peter Wemm - peter@FreeBSD.org; peter@yahoo-inc.com; peter@netplex.com.au "All of this is for nothing if we don't go to the stars" - JMS/B5 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hubs" in the body of the message
