I noted that things like ``elm'' which can not be built as packages due
to the fact they compile in domain names do not end up in the distfiles
directory of the CDROM.  Has something been done so that things like this
can end up on the 2.1 cdrom?  Reason I ask is that it seemed I had to
fetch a lot of code over the network that should have been on the cdrom
but was left off simply because you have to compile it yourself not
because it was restricted.

Thanks, and keep up the superb work on the ports collection, it is makeing
FreeBSD very real for many many many people.  

This new mechanisms has now allowed me to expand my levels of service
such that I can now not only provide FreeBSD and XFree86 preconfigured
on machines, but also a hand picked list of the more common ports.

I thank you, and my clients thank you and your team!
