There is nothing preventing us from including the dist files in the CD distribution so network connectivity is not needed for someone to install it. If someone else puts together the port I would be happy to provide disk space & net access for the fetch. I have good network connectivity (a T1), not that I expect a uucp port would actually require much in the way of bandwidth. The 'cpdup' port only generates 159 downloads a month and I expect a 'uucp' port generate much lower numbers, maybe 10 a month. (This offer is really open to anyone who is managing a modest port and does not have network resources to foot the distribution). -Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
