The problem is that I have a very slow link at my house where I use FBSD. I generally download the ISOs from my office, where I have Windows. Is there any easy way of downloading the required packages and dependencies, and replicating them on my hdd from Windows?

Correct.

Do you mean the distfiles here, or the resulting packages? If talking about the packages, isn't it as simple as moving the $CHROOT_DIR/usr/ports/packages into $CHROOT_DIR/R/cdrom and using a similar approach as portupgrade? Otherwise an ls */*/*.tbz should print a workable list. If the distfiles, then one can advise in the release manpage, to do: /usr/src/release/scripts/print-cdrom-packages.sh 1 | xargs portinstall --fetch-only and then proceed with RELEASEDISTFILES argument. The only problem with this is that it's quite common during the RC and BETA phases for the package set to not yet be available through normal means. Life would be a lot simpler if portupgrade was moved into base :) Yeah, but that would require putting Ruby into the base, and you'd have an all-out revolt on your hands if that happened.

Hmm - this is much clearer then: "Assumes that the output of a release build has been manually modified, and performs the minimal number of steps to rebuild the release using the intermediate output of the previous ``make release''." > The RELEASENOUPDATE flag will > prevent the scripts for doing a cvs update on the tree.
