Actually I should have been more specific, and have taken some
time to go through all of the cd's. I was trying to link it up
the way it shows in the handbook, ln -s /cdrom/ports/distfiles
into /usr/ports. I could not find ./ports/distfiles on the
first 2 cd's. But there are "4" ("FOUR") cd's in the 2.2.5
distribution. I finally found a ./ports/distfiles on the cd
that had a "documentation" title on the physical cd. I ln'd
it up and it worked.
