Is there any way I can force it to fetch packages when they exist and distfiles for ports if a package doesn't exist? So in summary I have a list of applications I would like to install on a machine not connected to a network. I am looking for the easiest method of fetching the packages from a server and putting them on CDs so I can move them to the stand-alone machine. For the one or two apps I use that don't have packages I would like to fetch all the necesary distfiles to be able to install those few apps from ports.
