Yuck, that didn't come through right but I'm not going to fix it.

Anyway, if you want to cut your own CD (which isn't as easy as it seems -
most people need to make some frisbees first) just make a copy of the FTP
site.  You don't need the packages or ports unless you want them.

I generally recommend (highly) that you buy the WC CD so you get the whole
thing in one package.

What do you use for your NIC on a T1, anyway?  :)
