Rene, I suggest you remove roottalk from the root html distribution or provide a separate file. It says "if you have a slow connection to CERN"... grab this file ... of 50MB :) I mean that if you run around with a notebook, you have to have off-line docs to develop things. At the same time I would like to have the latest updates and download them at the same time I update root bins. I do not care if it is included in the bin distribution or provided as a separate file. /Anton http://www.smartquant.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Rene Brun <Rene.Brun@cern.ch> To: Anton Fokin <anton.fokin@smartquant.com> Cc: roottalk <roottalk@pcroot.cern.ch> Sent: Friday, March 02, 2001 6:47 PM Subject: Re: [ROOT] html doc > 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.
