 You can accomplish this by setting the BSDINSTALL_DISTSITE environment
 variable (see bsdinstall(8)) or pressing the "Other" button in the
 mirror selection dialog, which specifies the full path to the distfiles
 and includes the architecture and release name. More variables can be
 added, but I'm not sure that they accomplish much.
 
 Is this sufficient, or do you need the additional sub-variables as well?
