I am very new, and have been reinstalling FreeBSD many times to clean up whatever mess i make and start again. I recently used cvsup to update my ports collection for the 4.10_RELEASE. Now, when I reinstall, it takes much longer because i bring in the updated ports collection rather than the ports collection on the install CD (which i burnt from an ISO file) Is there some way to burn a cd (for me that means under winXP) containing the latest ports collection so that I dont have to download it each time. Or is there a better way of installing with the latest ports collection. Are the ISO images updated with a new ports collection very frequently ? Thanks for any pointers Peter
