Subject: HOWTO local mirror of minimum set of directories for network
 installation (i386 and x64 only)
Message-ID: <4911D0F6.6040401@attglobal.net>

Hi,

To save the effort of swapping CDs, I am trying to setup a local mirror 
for network installation of FreeBSD on i386 and x64 machines within the 
organization. I hope someone could help to advise what is the minimum 
set of directories to be mirror-ed in order to support network installation.

Thanks a lot.

Subject: Updates from ftp-master.freebsd.org using cvsup?
Message-ID: <20081112071716.GA7629@fit.vutbr.cz>


Hello,
  recent cvsup updates from ftp-master.freebsd.org end after relatively
short time (at most ten minutes) with
	TreeList failed: Network write failure: Connection lost
or
	Updater failed: Premature EOF from server
Unfortunately, I see this behavior on ftp-master.eu.freebsd.org.
Please, who of you use direct cvsup updates from ftp-master.freebsd.org,
could you check if you see the same or different behavior? Isn't there
some problem directly on ftp-master.freebsd.org? I did not do any
recent changes on ftp-master.eu.freebsd.org.

Thanks.

Sorry, I broke cvsupd.  :-(

The thought that I might break cvsupd did occur to me, and I did check
an ftp.freebsd.org machine after uploading the 6.4-RC2 DVDs.  But the
one I wound up checking was the Danish half, and it turns out they
apparently have switched to rsync.  So I wound up not really checking
what I had wanted to check.

One of the DVD ISO files is a tiny bit bigger than 2Gb.  And what I was
worried might be the case is the case - the i386 version of cvsupd (at
least, not sure about the amd64 version) uses 32-bits for file size.

I compressed the amd64 DVD which got it down under the 2Gb mark.  Sorry
about that.

cvsup3.br.FreeBSD.org still has a 6bone address listed:

This is long obsolete.

Hi all,
So far we've been extremely busy with Niki on our life matters and there is
no help around.
Tooth fairy has molested and left us in the field helpless.No new machine so
far. I will give one more try, but I am not sure if it will work.
I'm about to have a surgery within the 1st two month of 2009 or so,
therefore I prefer to put down things until spring 2009, as I will need 1-2
months
at least to recover. Niki is buried alive too, so don't expect miracles if
they have not happened so far. If there is someone from Sofia, Bulgaria
willing
to invest some time and efforts to diagnose the machine, please contact us
with Niki off or on list.
If higher management of FreeBSD mirrors decides to remove
bg.freebsd.orgfrom the list of mirrors and rollback the zone - that's
ok.
It's not fair to users having an non-existing machine as a mirror. When
ready we will write back and the process for official mirror will be applied
again.
I prefer speaking the truth than sitting silent as some local trolls killed
almost 90% of my desire to keep on with FreeBSD and i have my health as top
priority
to take care of.
Thank you for your time and happy holidays.
Best regards,
Dimitar Vassilev
