Disc 2 is the repair/recovery disc "Mini" is disk 1 stripped down to more or less bare minimum. It's all you need to download if you have a decent 'net connection as the remainder of discs 1 and 2 are pre-compiled binary packages which you get from ports or pkg_add over the 'net connection as required. Now I come to think of it, the "Mini" CD has no X windows managers either (other than TWM), if it even has X on it at all. Not 100% sure on that.
