I think there was some MB/KB confusion as well. Just in case, I
verified that the md5sums on the HOSEF mirror match those of the
main FreeBSD ftp mirror.

When the new hard disks are installed we should have more space,
so all I would need is an rsync target for the snapshots.

If you follow -CURRENT, you might as well be updating via cvsup
and run mergemaster/buildworld/installworld.

I updated the scripts to grab -RELEASE versions of 6.2 and up
of i386 and amd64. When 7.0 is released, the scripts should
automatically pull those ISO files without any changes to the
rsync scripts.
