It doesn't actually seem to take that much longer than a T1. It's arguably the most efficient way to sync via a network connection since can generate patches and compress the resulting deltas. - Mike H.

CVSSUP is fine at work for the servers here but could be v painful down a 56K modem ;-) I can burn data onto CD's at work and take them home, what would I need to download? I know that there is data available on the ftp servers, but I am not sure what is required here.. thanks for any advice, and hope the question does not sound too stupid! regards, Jon Paterson To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
