Hi Everyone,
	I couldn't find this anywhere.  Is there any way to index the CDs
in the Powerpak version of FreeBSD?  What I mean is, if I go to /usr/ports
and make something it checks my cdrom drive for the dist files and if it
doesn't find it on the CD currently loaded it checks the Internet.  Is
there a way to configure the ports system to know which CDs certain
distfiles are located on?  
	The only thing I can compare this too is Debian's apt-cdrom.
apt-cdrom will index all CDs so that if you try to apt-get something it
will tell you which CD to insert.

Thanks,
~Mike
