Maybe they'd make a good src/README. I just took www.freebsd.org's "Getting FreeBSD" link. It takes you to the table of contents of Handbook Appendix A where, if you don't give up at that point, you can follow a "FTP" link which leads you to this helpful info: The official sources for FreeBSD are available via anonymous FTP from: ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/. Then you get to poke around a big directory tree until you blunder across releases/i386/4.7-RELEASE/src/. Our intrepid OP apparently managed to get that far, but was probably too worn down to try looking for and decyphering the install.sh script. The Handbook and FAQ don't mention src/install.sh.
