I don't think the 4.4BSD documentation should be mirrored on all our FreeBSD WWW mirror sites. The total size of all ASCII + Postscript + HTML files is ~15MB. The gzip'd ASCII and PS files (~10MB) may distributed with FTP from ftp.freebsd.org. I read the log files and there are only 56 hits from 10 different users (+you, Jordan, and me). Wolfram
