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.
