The standard port build looks in /usr/ports/distfiles for the distfiles, and if it's not there, it goes to downloading. Either copy the distfiles needed to that location, or another trick is something like, # mount /dev/acd0c /cdrom # cd /usr/ports # rmdir distfiles # ln -s /cdrom/ports/distfiles . I'm not sure about the path to the distfiles on the CD, but you get the idea; make a symbolic link to them. -- Crist J.
