+
+<p>You can (and are encouraged to) mirror the FreeBSD web pages
+<tt>www.FreeBSD.org</tt>.
+
+To do this, you need to obtain and install
+a program called <em>cvsup</em> on your web server.
+
+<a href="&url.doc.base;/books/handbook/cvsup.html#CVSUP-INSTALL">CVSup</a> is a software package for
+distributing and updating collections of files across a network.</p>
+
+<h2>Installing CVSup</h2>
+
+<p>You can build and install it from source by the following commands:</p>
+
+<pre>
+ # cd /usr/ports/net/cvsup-without-gui
+ # make all install clean
+</pre>
+
+<p>However, installing precompiled package from the FreeBSD
+<a href="&url.doc.base;/books/handbook/packages-using.html">packages
+collection</a> may be much easier.
+Refer to the chapter mentioned for the details.</p>
+
+<h2>Running CVSup</h2>
+
+<p>If you keep your mirrored FreeBSD web pages in the directory
+<tt>/usr/FreeBSD-mirror</tt> and are owned by the user `fred', then
+run the following command as user `fred':</p>
+
+<pre>
+ $ cvsup supfile-www
+</pre>
+
+The file <tt>supfile-www</tt> contain:
+<pre>
+ *default host="cvsup".FreeBSD.org
+ *default prefix=/usr/FreeBSD-mirror
+ *default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup
+ www release="current" delete use-rel-suffix compress
+</pre>
+
+<p>This will mirror the FreeBSD web pages into
+<tt>/usr/FreeBSD-mirror</tt>. You can install this into fred's
+crontab, so that it runs once a day. The pages on www.FreeBSD.org are
+updated daily at about 4:30am California time.</p>
+
+<h2>More Information on CVSup</h2>

+See the <a href="&url.doc.base;/books/handbook/synching.html#CVSUP">CVSup introduction</a> in the
+handbook.
