I think if you check now, you'll find it does have some FreeBSD stuff there. Not everything, but we're working on that. We are very pleased to say that we have reached an agreement with an ISP in Auckland to host our machine for us. We are now in the process of putting together a box to ship up to them. Once that process is complete, you should have a pretty fast connection to the new New Zealand FreeBSD mirror! cheers. -- Dan Langille The FreeBSD Diary http://www.FreeBSDDiary.com/freebsd To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
