Is there a file somewhere that contains the names, comments and
descriptions of all the ports and packages? I just had a new FreeBSD
user ask me if there was such a thing, so he could make a list of the
packages that he wants first, then download them.
On a related note, does the 2.0.5 installer allow the user to
install arbritrary ports and packages? I recall seeing something
about "installing additional <something>", but that might refer to the
various 2.0.5 tarballs, not ports/packages.
