I am a new user to Freebsd. I do not have a high speed connection, so I could not install softwares from ports directly. It takes me a lot of time. I wonder how to download the whole ports, so that I could download it in Net Cafe, and save it to my moible harddisk and then, I could install softwares after I get home. It is of no use to download the ports trees only. I need to download all the source codes the first time, and I could use cvs system to update it.
I don't think you will be able to update ports source code with CVS, only the core FreeBSD sources. Someone may have a recipe for mass downloading the ports distfiles, but I've never thought about doing that so I can't comment.
You might consider buying the CD or DVD release sets from freebsdmall.com. They come with many additional ports packages.
