Is there a distribution of the Handbook so I can install it local and not
have to suck up bandwidth (both my own and freefall's) when I need to
look at it? I don't see it on ftp.freebsd.org anywhere.
IMHO it would be nice if it were automatically tarred&zipped daily
(weekly? I dunno how often it is updated) and made available on
ftp.freebsd. I can't be the only person who would sacrifice the disk
space for the speed increase.
