If you have a CD drive,  you can order the CDROM and you won't need to 
beat the clock.  Info is on the web page http://www.freebsd.org/ .

If you need to pull directories, pull these.  

you MUST pull bin/, floppies/root.flp, floppies/boot.flp, 
floppies/atapi.flp if you have a IDE CDROM.  

You will want src/ssys.* (the kernel sources), but isn't necessary in a 
pinch.  

You will also want manpages/, compat*/, and possibly des/ for DES encryption.

Everything else is up to you.

Hope this helps.
