Yes, perhaps that is the way to go!
I can easily live without the "Live Filesystem" on the second CD, but i
_cannot_ live without either the ports _or_ the distfiles !!
The ports are fine, but they don't fit into every environment, so i'm
glad i have the distfiles to fit them to _my_ needs. In case the distfiles
are missing, i have a binary distribution and i have to spend more money
to ftp the stuff than for the whole CD !!!!!!
IMHO, the source for _every_ binary has to be provided on the CD's, other-
wise it's the first step to a binary-only distribution - and this is not
something i'm going to like at all.
