We're currently a BSD/OS shop, looking at switching to FreeBSD as an alternative. I've RTFM but did not see anything that detailed the procedure for installing source and doing all builds on one local machine and doing binary-only installs on all other servers. I can not believe that the intent is to have users always go out to ftp.freebsd.org each time they want to tinstall a package (hmmm, maybe thats why that machine is always so busy?) Anyway, a URL is fine if it's docced. What we'd REALLY like to do is be able to install binaries for any given package on a local machine by using the binary install package which would look on bsdsrc.msen.com for the binary. Should bsdsrc.msen.com not have it, IT would go out to the net to get current src. Or, should we simply give up and just mirror the whole tree locally? /\/\ \/\/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
