Create a puppy mirror?

#1 Post by homeblend »

Hi,

Firstly I hope this is the right forum to post in (please correct me if not).

I am exploring the possibility of hosting a puppy mirror. I have been allocated an amount of surplus bandwidth and server space to use for open source hosting - and I immediately thought of my favourite distribution.

A few questions:
1. How does one set up a puppy mirror?
2. What are the requirements (in terms of both disk space and bandwidth).

A big thank you in advance and an apology for my ignorance.

Luke

Dont know , but roughly I think it would be something regularly once a week like

Code: Select all

wget -N -np -r http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/
and http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/ftpd-ssl launch a ftp server that clients like webbrowsers are able to connect to .
