I've sent a message to the FreeBSD postmaster suggesting a limit of 100 kB. My reasoning for this relatively low limit: nobody's going to look at much more anyway, and it will "encourage" people to quote carefully :-)
I'm still wondering what could possibly have been in 9 megs that could conceivably be call a text file about system specification (even at two-bytes per character). Did it specify every molecule in the system? Look, maintainers may indeed be interested in dumps that exceed 100kB, but there is no reason to post stuff like that to a public mailing list. If there is anything that has to be that big or bigger for some reason, stick on the web and provide a link. It may not be any faster to download for people with slow links, but most browsers will give you some idea what you are getting. And people who know they have slow links may elect not to help anyone with 9 megs of problems. -- Lars Eighner [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.larseighner.com/index.html 8800 N IH35 APT 1191 AUSTIN TX 78753-5266 _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
