You could even write a script to download them from a web page and build =
your lib/face in a ramfs=20


You can also choose to get rid of the
a/ b/ c/ d/ ... z/ folders,=20
facesdb doesn't care about the directory names. It does a linear search t=
hrough the .dict and then walks to $dir/$face

so in .dict
proweb.co.uk/matt 9fans/matt.1

works just fine

then you can=20

bind -bc /n/ftp/secret_faces/9fans /usr/$user/lib/face/48x48x8/9fans

and keep a secret matt.1 on your ftp place
