Then why can't someone within the users's group
cd /usr/ports && make fetch
and burn a CDROM?? Not everything related to FreeBSD needs to come
straight from Walnut Creek. Many people have better net access than WC's
office. Making and offering said CDROM sounds like an exclent user's
group activity, esp., since a UG's charter is to foster help w/in the
group.
BTW, it now takes 3 full CDROM's to hold all the distfiles.
