It's not a question of disk, it's a question of being able to actually create the archive on anything less than an ftp.cdrom.com class machine. :) > > You soon get a set of monster html files that are > > essentially unusable - I know, I did the short-lived "FreeBSD Docs" > > CD for awhile using MHonArc. > > Better suggestions appreciated.

Unfortunately, I have neither a better suggestion (if I did, I'd have dived on this one myself) nor agreement that MHonArc is better than what we have at the moment (even though that's essentially nothing) given the speed at which it falls over when confronted by any set of archives as large as ours. But you'll find all of this out the hard way, I'm quite certain. :-) Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
