I have what may seem like an odd question=2E I have a new FreeBSD 4=2E9 system that I want to install OpenOffice and some other stuff on=2E Most of the stuff left to install is pretty big and thus will be hard to download via ports over my dial-up connection (yes, I use dial-up)=2E I know it's possible to download tarballs and drop them into the ports tree somewhere so you don't have to do the download=2E I'm wondering how easy this is, though=2E By that I mean, if I wanted to say install Tomcat, Java, OpenOffice, etc=2E in this manner how would I know which package to download? And from where? I'd like to download these at work, burn them on a CD and take them home=2E However, since I'm not in front of my machine I don't know where ports will be looking for these files=2E Anyone know= ?
