I have all 4 of the Freebsd install CD's that you can download from the website and I was wondering. Obviously you install the OS from the first cd. But can I somehow force the computer to install my ports from one of the CD's instead of the internet? Basically what's happening is I need to take these 4 cd's with me to a friends house and install all of Freebsd for him. That's great except that he's out in BFE middle of nowhere with no internet connection and no way to install ports over the internet. So I want to be able to install the whole system right off of cd, including any ports that I may have to add in the post install period to get him up and running. Is there a simple way to do this? 100% of what I do on freebsd involves the internet in some way. So I'm relatively unfamiliar with doing offline stuff. Thanks in advance.
