My FreeBSD box has a spare 1.5GB still, but I don't rekon I've got the technical experience to create deltas for the whole project. (I'm still trying to learn the OS) Surely a FreeBSD.org host has a bit of slack space that could be used for something like this? Can anybody comment? It seems a shame that disk space is the only thing stopping CTM from running as documented.
