When I said ftp.cdrom.com-class machine, I really meant it. The memory requirements of MHonArc when indexing truly large mailing lists runs far beyond what's on freefall. You need at least 512MB of memory and several GB of swap space just to do freebsd-hackers and if you tried a really large list like -questions, you'd probably need several GB of memory and a dedicated 4GB swap drive. > Hell, if the worst comes to the worst (and it might) I can FTP down the > mailing list archives to work, put them on a ZIP, take them home, build > the HTML files, bring 'em back in and FTP them back up.
