[darcs-users] Darcs newbie: create publicly available remote darcs repository?

[Niki Kovacs]

Hi,

I'm an Austrian writer living in Montpezat (South France), and a 100% 
GNU/Linux user since 2001.

I'm currently trying to get a grasp of Darcs, following the suggestion 
of a friend who is a specialist in the field. We are working on a 
collaborative project, where he will take care of the more gory details.

I am working through the Darcs manual, slowly and somewhat painfully, 
beginning from getting started, since my pal was so kind to send me a 
precompiled binary (btw: I'm using Slackware Linux 10.2).

I downloaded a remote project using darcs, so this works ok.

First question that arises: can I define a remote repository (or: 
mirror, island) on my webserver http://www.kikinovak.net, even if I 
can't install darcs there? Which means: is a "banal" webserver 
(accessible via http and/or ftp) capable to host a darcs repository? Or 
has darcs to be installed there?

One dragon at a time, so I'll be back later. Cheers,
