In practice, you will discover that the number and size of files involved is far too large to fit on a CD: you'd need to hold 28 GB or so! [1] Fortunately, you can still use the ports collection for your offline machine, by using a machine which is connected and doing the "make package-recursive" or "make fetch-recursive" commands to grab all of the dependencies as well. -- -Chuck [1]: If the size of distfiles from the ~150 port distfiles I have around is representative of the entire collection of ~11900 ports.
