Create a "link tree" to it using the lndir(1) command that
comes with the XFree86 distribution. Find a location with
-some free space and create a directory there, and make a symbolic link
-from /usr/ports to that directory. Then invoke the
-lndir(1) command with the full pathname of the ``ports''
-directory on the CDROM as an argument (this might be, for example,
-something like: lndir /cdrom/ports). Then you can build
-ports directly off the CDROM by building them in the link tree you
-have created.

Note that there are some ports for which we cannot provide the original source in the CDROM due to licensing limitations. In that case,
