I don't. > any recommendations on what to mirror out of the whole tree ? I keep the most recent release, a snapshot or two, and whatever set of packages is required for same. I also keep the ports distfiles (because some of the packages are of GPLware so we are required to do so). I have a complete XFree86 and CPAN on another disk. I also don't keep anything which merely duplicates a cvsup collection. That includes source, CVS repository, and ports. Unfortunately, I can't justify adding an 18G disk to xyz right now, so I'm stuck trimming loads whenever something new gets added. (Does anybody even make a low-profile 18G disk? All the Seacrates our usual supplier lists are half-height.) -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
