So... now what? find your closest mirror - i don't recomment hitting ftp.freebsd.org directly. then start mirroring using rsync or spegla or mirror.pl to your local system. once complete, send more mail to hubs@freebsd.org and/or your closest domain hostmaster for freebsd.org asking to be added as ftpX.XX.freebsd.org i believe the web pages are generated from CVSup, so you'll need to install and configure that to generate a web mirror. i would also recommend you install an rsync server for users (and downstream mirrors) to be able to access your archive. lastly, i hope you have a big network pipe/budget to keep up with freebsd package updates. -jason To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hubs" in the body of the message
