My best guess is to check the names of the files that portinstall tries to download and copy them onto a CD. They need to go to /usr/ports/distfiles (with some few exceptions that require an additional level of subdirectory but it's all explained in the error message). Once the file is found, it will start the compilation process. Beware that you may need to comply with several dependencies before you can complete the installation. So you may have to go back to your office a few times... :-) Hope it helps Olivier > hello guys, > > i'm using freebsd and because i liked it i installed it at home too. > Problem is i don't have internet at home.
