650 MBs or so? (plucked out of the air)

:-) I don't have spare machines just lying about you know. My FreeBSD box
has a spare 1.5GB still, but I don't rekon I've got the technical
experience to create deltas for the whole project. (I'm still trying to
learn the OS)

Surely a FreeBSD.org host has a bit of slack space that could be used for
something like this? Can anybody comment?

It seems a shame that disk space is the only thing stopping CTM from
running as documented.

Thanks.
