I fail to see how a reduction of hours (even just one) is insignificant to someone on a dial-up connection. Time is money for some people; even a meager three hours. > Again, reducing hours/percentages with compressed image doesn't > matter; please focus total download time which is actually needed for > all users. Missing the point is not helpful for the discussion. Again, I fail to see how a reduction in download time for -anyone- is insignificant. Can you explain how I am missing the point? I think it would be better to focus on whether or not the snapshot machine can even handle such a task, and, more importantly, whether the administrator even wants to do it. I e-mailed buildadm@jp.freebsd.org about the task. If that is you I hope you'll forward your response to the freebsd-current list. -- Carl Schmidt [Random Quote] Be careful of reading health books, you might die of a misprint. -- Mark Twain To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
