We installed 2.1.5 on my roommate's home machine the other day, and
we did it via FTP install off my CD.  (his machine didn't have a CD).
He was complaining that his install at work went much faster since
he's T3 all the way to ftp.freebsd.org and wcarchive's disks are much
faster than my CDRom drive =)
