Excellent idea.

Actually, it's broken up into 240KB chunks and several distributions
(except X). You have to grab bin/ and will want to grab floppies/ and
probably tools/, but the rest is optional. This list may help:
FreeBSD File Requirements:
REQUIRED:
floppies/boot.flp (boot floppy image)
tools/fdimage.exe (DOS bootfloppy image writer)
bin/*
RECOMMENDED:
manpages/
compat*/
doc/ (at your discretion)
src/ssys.*
