some of them that aren't on the cd you will need to fetch from
ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/FreeBSD/packages-2.1.5 other wise you will find
them on the cd in the directory [cdrom]/packages/  and their you can
choose the packages by catagory or from All...

also... just so you know there is a bug in sysinstall the will install the
packages but after a while your proc table will fill up and it will
prevent you from installing any more packages... 

hope this helps...
