Or disc1 is just the > really matters to make a cd. The second disc is the "live filesystem" CD which can be used as a "fixit" CD. If you just want to install the system, you only need the first CD. However, the fixit CD can be really useful sometimes, e.g if you broke your root filesystem accidentally. You can also put the installation and fixit stuff onto a single CD, just put the distriution sets from disc1 into a subdirectory called "FreeBSD". Sysinstall will find them there.

Nice joke. :-) Much of the release process is I/O-bound, such as checking out all the sources and running installworld. A fast disk (or better yet, multiple fast disks) will help more than a fast processor. It takes about 3 hours on my Athlon-850 with a (not so fast) IDE disk, _including_ ports and docs, but with a specially optimized release makefile.
