Hello We (ftp2.ch.freebsd.org) try to keep all 4.10 release related files. We save: FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/4.10 FreeBSD/releases/alpha/ISO-IMAGES/4.10/* FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.10-RELEASE/* FreeBSD/releases/alpha/4.10-RELEASE/* FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.10-release/* FreeBSD/ports/alpha/packages-4.10-release/* something else?
