Ryan, thanks a bunch for this info! very nice. Would you mind including
instructions for freebsd for a start-to-finish backuppc install from a fresh
system install? I for one am very interested in using freebsd but don't yet
have the experience to setup apache and all the requierments to get the cgi
working for backuppc.
thanks again!
also,
the .doc file does not state any specific license for your guide so am
asking official permission to add this to the wiki.
