That's correct, but you said the *ports tree*, not the source for every 
port in the tree. My question is, why would you want the source for the 
10,000+ ports? Are you really planning on installing anywhere close to 
that many? Heck, between my workstation and my server I probably only 
have around 300 unique ports installed. I'd also think it would take 
*several* CD's to hold the entire tree's sources.
