I don't that was the point (that it can't work for everyone). However it would be nice if I didn't have to download a tarball. I see the point in why it's hard with distfiles but how hard would it be to add tarballs and limited distfiles. to a "minimal cd) and make it universal and put it up for download? maybe and make a note in the handbook "distfiles are not supported" or some such. I really don't understand why this is so difficult? the tarballs wouldn't be changing from the ones that are on the mirrors. so what is the hangup? I doubt it's storage space and bandwidth.
