That's the similar setup to what I've been using. `vmware' is pretty
neato.

You need:
cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.debian.org:/cvs/debian-boot login
cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.debian.org:/cvs/debian-boot checkout boot-floppies
<URL:http://cvs.debian.org> for `cvsweb'.
There's a `make mirror' target to get yourself a mirror... I think
that right now it's set up for a developer with ssh access to
master.debian.org though. You'll need to RTFM `rsync', and adjust
the script so that it works with anon rsync. `debian.midco.net' is
one site I know of where you can mirror base via anon rsync. If that
proves to be out of date, perhaps I'll let you mirror from my
machine. I update at least once a week.
