You should probably avoid installing the source as well then use another system to do the "make world". Doing so on a 486 would be slower than a dead slug stuck in frozen molasses. Clearly your website should keep the dynamic content to a minimum and shouldn't be expected to handle much traffic, but it should be more than fast enough for a cable modem assuming that you have a throttled upload speed (if not, tell me how you did it ;-) _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
