I'm guessing. I'd say the requirements are to have something from the ftp site mirrored if you want to be an FTP site. Probably the latest release at a minimum. To be a www mirror, you'd need the www files. I've never hardware requirements mentioned. An ftp server needs very little grunt. A 486 with a bunch of disk space will do it. I'd just go ahead and start up a mirror. To my knowledge, you don't need any "official" permission to do that. Once it's up and running, start telling people about it. -- Dan Langille - DVL Software Limited The FreeBSD Diary - http://www.FreeBSDDiary.org/freebsd/ NZ FreeBSD User Group - http://www.nzfug.nz.freebsd.org/ The Racing System - http://www.racingsystem.com/racingsystem.htm To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
