Which would be better in this case? The CVS repository for the ports and docs isn't required for making the release, is it? I'm rather short on drive space anyway. I hope I will still have enough to build the release after the repository is on here. What IS the size requirement for making a 2.2.5 release, anyway? The manual just says approximately 600MB, but I'm hoping it could be less (I'll have to do some serious drive cleanup). All I really need is the FTP distribution. --- Chris Dillon --- cdillon@tri-lakes.net --- Powered by FreeBSD, the best free OS on the planet. ---- (http://www.freebsd.org)
