1.
The documentation for htdig on '-i' says:
-i:
Initial. Do not use any old databases. This is accomplished by first erasing the 
databases.

So, this would be used if you wanted to create an entirely new database. Useful if 
some pages have been deleted since htdig doesn't remove links that are no longer 
existing.


2.
I think there's a couple more issues to think about for this one. A couple are,
-connection speed (if you are indexing other servers).
-type of webserver
-amount of memory


Just giving a couple of pointers, the pro's might have some insight here :)

Hello --

I've just downloaded and installed htdig on our intranet. I have two
questions:

1. Although it doesn't seem to be documented explicitly, I assume that
htdig's default mode of operation is incremental. That is, htdig will only
index new pages unless you specify -i on the command line. Can someone
confirm this for me? If this is the case, it seems like a worthwhile
addition to the documentation given that the mnemonic switch for
non-incremental mode is "-i" (!).

2. Is there any way to get a sense for how long htdig will run? For example,
assuming no pages need to be updated, how long would it take htdig to scan
through 10,000 pages? Obviously this is CPU dependent, etc. but I'm trying
to get an order-of-magnitude feel.

Thanks!

Ramon
