Bryce: Sorry, since I sent out this message, I moved the mailing list 
to a new server.  There was too much spam coming it.  It was easier 
to do this than to upgrade the server.

I have never built them from source.  Start at:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/hubs/mirror-
howto.html

Look for section 3.3 Mirroring the WWW pages.  Use cvs co... You can 
always check out that code from cvsup.nz.freebsd.org on a daily 
basis.

Thanks
