Date: 19 Jul 1995 18:00:11 -0400 Organization: Shadow Information Services, Inc. Lines: 17 Message-ID: <3ujv9b$gjg@anshar.shadow.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: anshar.shadow.net X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] 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. -- ========================================================================= Donald Alan Whiteside MDCC Wage Slave School of Computer Science Official Usenet Dork for the week of Jan 9-13, 1995 GCS d-- -p+(---) l u+(-) e+ m+ s !n h f g+ w+ t+(++) r- y++ "The universe is not in the habit of giving up explanations to cursory examinations" - Garth Thornton =========================================================================
