This didn't make it to the handbook either.

2.13.1 Creating an installation CDROM


As part of each release, the FreeBSD project makes available five CDROM images 
(``ISO images''). These images can be written (``burned'') to CDs if you have 
a CD writer, and then used to install FreeBSD. If you have a CD writer, and 
bandwidth is cheap, then this is the easiest way to install FreeBSD.

What exactly is "the effort involved". The packages are already built, right?
