Hi!
I have a slow Internet connection at home, and I would like to know if it is
possible to fetch the STABLE sources from somewhere else (ex.: at work).
What I want is to get the latest sources, like described in the handbook (
http://www.ca.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/synching.html),
even if it means downloading all of it, since there no way to diff with my
current source...
Basically, that is what I do. I only have a regular old phone modem at home.
I take my home machine in to the office where I have a reliable 100 Mb/s
and do my installs there. The only problem is fixing up IPs and host
names.
If I ever get rich and get a laptop with significant disk, I can just
carry that and pull everything down to it and take it home to work
on the desktop machine - or I could get one of those nice big USB drives
and download everything to that.

I have a computer that's not connected to the internet that I keep up to
date using CTM. I've subscribed to one of the ctm-XXX mail list with my
work address and I just save the messages to a relatively small USB
memory stick from the windows machine. Once I have the updates on there
I bring the stick home and run ctm-rmail and it updates my source tree.
It would have been even easier if I was able to get ftp access to get
the CTM updates directly without resorting to using e-mail for the transfer.
Setting it up is discussed in the handbook, I've only been doing it for
a couple of weeks, but it seems to work for me.
Joe.
