Besides the main installation CD and the live CD, you get two (or more?)
extra CDs of packages that can be installed with pkg_add.  All these
packages are available for download, but there are no downloadable ISO
images for the extra CDs - I presume as a gentle hint to potential
purchasers.

If you have a fast internet connection, you don't need the CDs - but it
is still nice to contribute every now and again.
