Before that, I had to configure it as a sup client of freefall. I also want to be a mirror of the FreeBSD anon ftp site. Unfortunately, I have severe problems with the mirror program. It eats up my system's resources and finally crashes it. So I wonder if it would be possible to mirror the ftp site with sup. That would be very convenient. I have also wondered if it would be possible and advisable to save disk space by symlinking e.g. my /usr/src tree, which is updated from freefall with sup, to the FreeBSD-stable directory in the anon ftp directory. The same could be done with the ports directory.

Try the latest version, mirror-2.8, and perl-5.001m and things are a LOT better. Mirror 3 will have even smarter ways... Incidentally I was wondering if a SUP server on SunSITE UK would be useful? -- Lee McLoughlin. Phone: +44 171 594 8388 ICParc, Imperial College, Fax: +44 171 594 8449 South Kensington, London.
