The current english web pages are 14MB big and the translated pages are 24MB big, together 38MB. I guess the documentation will not grown with more than 20MB/year. So we will reach the 100MB limit in year 2003 ;-) Still small for a web server. I think the web server (and web mirrors) should contain all informations which you need to install FreeBSD - thats the FAQ and most parts of the handbook. docs.freebsd.org is a server for special interest documentation (man pages, info pages etc.) or documents from past releases. -- Wolfram Schneider <wosch@freebsd.org> http://wolfram.schneider.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
