I am using it to keep my sources in sync with the FreeBSD CVS repository, and it takes less than 5-10 minutes to update the entire CVS repository over a somewhat slow line (28.8 Kbit/s). The handbook has instructions on using CVSup to keep your sourcs updated. You might care to giv it a try. -giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
