As I understand there's only _ports_ at FreeBSD CD-ROM. And all the tarballs you should download from Internet, isn't it? Of course, there's a number of packages included in CD-ROM. But the most part of all those 12 thousands ports requires to download corresponding tarballs from Internet first. Of course, it is good idea to place tarballs in /usr/ports/distfiles (Item 2.) But anyway you should download them first from Internet. So there's no way to avoid Item 1. Am I wrong?
