X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 27 Mar 2011 18:45:28 -0000 Hi, I have installed on my old Toshiba Satellite 2540CDS Laptop the minimal FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE, using CD image: FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso I have a home LAN with a gateway and I have a public Debian Server too. When on my laptop want to install some package from a FreeBSD server, I can't even if I select a nearby server. In Hungary the FreeBSD server doesn't have my recent release, in Slovenia does but the internet connection is probably slow because using sysinstall the state of downloading data from server stall. So the solution that I see in my case is to have my own FreeBSD mirror server that I can use only me on my LAN. This mirror server should run on my public Debian server. Why only me should use this server? Because my ISP package allow to me only 4GB traffic. So my question is: can I have a mirror of a FreeBSD server on my public server that run already a Debian operating system? -- Regards, Paul
