Doesn't include the 288MB of packages, 92MB of XFree86, etc., on the CD. If I had just one machine to install FreeBSD on, I would certainly install via ftp to ftp.freebsd.org (or ftp.cdrom.com, same thing). Actually, if I wanted to wait a couple of months to install, I would get the CD from Walnut Creek. At any rate, it is a joy to have the distribution locally for installs on multiple machines.
