If you cant do that, you probably shouldnt be > running a web server anyhow. just because you don't have complete internet connectivity doesn't mean you can't put a server to good use. I have 3-4 Unix boxes on my home network with an httpd server running on one of them. I can access html files on it from any of the other systems. When I find a really usefull page that I access alot I pull it down to the local server and thereafter can access it locally (spell that MUCH FASTER!), granted sometimes with some editing. > ... as long as we package these things to be installed optionally it gives the user some choices. The big plus about Linux I hear from it's users is that they have a wealth of runnable programs to choose from WITHOUT having to be able to program or troubleshoot, or own large disks, or know enough to configure a complex tool, etc. Steve Passe smp@clem.systemsix.com
