You may want to reconsider having single large distfiles: people still
want to do ftp installs over dialup and having chunks of around 10MB or
so would allow downloads to be re-tried if the connection fails.
Some people think modern FreeBSD releases shouldn't be installed on
anything other than modern hardware and technologies (i.e. broadband),
but I disagree.
