You're right, I don't see any CD image available online that contains all the packages, which is a little surprising. However, CDs containing lots of the packages are available very cheaply. I just checked http://www.cheapbytes.com , and they have 4 6 CD sets available for as low as US$6. So you might invest in one of those. -- Jonathan Arnold (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) Daemon Dancing in the Dark, a FreeBSD weblog: http://freebsd.amazingdev.com/blog/ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

No - with nearly 11000 ports it would take a few dozen CD images to contain what you want. You can download the packages and distfiles from the FTP sites as needed though.
