It contains all the binary package files (*.tgz) for the additional
ports in the distrib that sysinstall offers to let you choose at install
time.  If you select additional ports for installation that are not
part of the canned distribution sets (gnome, for example, or emacs),
sysinstall will prompt you to change the disk when it needs those
binary packages.

I see it as a quick and safe way to get some of the most commonly used
binaries installed on your system without downloading and building
them from sources through the ports collection.  But for some of
the programs you may land up with a version slightly older than what
you get by building from the sources.  Only the most widely used ones
out of the 14,000+ ports are available as binary packages on disk 2.
