I build on one and do make installworld as per the handbook on the others my total src is currently sitting at 357 Mb with 59Mb in the compile subtree where the kernels live. I do the same with the ports collection. nfs mount the ports directories and install the approprite bits from there which give me ~ 190 Mb used on the gateway with apache and squid installed, and some other junk. Of course I could (should) strip that down by getting rid of more, but I am not as cautious as perhaps I could be at home. > > second part of my question is, are thier any cvs servers in > australia ... preferably teh east coast (sydney would be nice). > I use cvsup.au.freebsd.org generally. about which dig says cvsup.au.freebsd.org. 11h23m11s IN CNAME www.au.freebsd.org. www.au.freebsd.org. 11h23m11s IN A 129.78.100.245 ;; AUTHORITY SECTION: au.freebsd.org. 11h23m11s IN NS ns.physics.usyd.edu.au. au.freebsd.org. 11h23m11s IN NS who.cdrom.com. which is University of Sydney I guess. you might want to try http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/cvsup.html for other australian mirrors and try dig or nslookup to see where they actually are. --kit To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
