Anton,
I was talking of the full html tree including roottalk digest and gifs.
roottalk digest is getting too big now and we could remove it from the
distribution. But even the remaining part is 10 Mbytes. It would not be wise
to double the size of the distribution. I imagine immediatly the complaints ::)
As suggested by Christian, we could provide a separate distribution
with gif files only.
