I fail to see how a reduction of hours (even just one) is insignificant
to someone on a dial-up connection. Time is money for some people;
even a meager three hours.

Again, I fail to see how a reduction in download time for -anyone- is
insignificant. Can you explain how I am missing the point? I think
it would be better to focus on whether or not the snapshot machine
can even handle such a task, and, more importantly, whether the
administrator even wants to do it. I e-mailed [EMAIL PROTECTED]
about the task. If that is you I hope you'll forward your response to
the freebsd-current list.
