Hi, > > Depending on what you want to do with "accessing the source code", > it may be valid to say that you can leave out scontrib, but as > far as I remember, it will be needed for building things from the > source code (make vuildworld and buildkernel). I want to be able to read and compile the source. I have looked at ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/old-releases/i386/ but am unable to find an iso and am not sure how to make a iso or install cd from what is provided. I have installed the system minus scontrib and it boots ok. Would I be able to get the full source from the ftp-archive, exctract it to my FreeBSD system and then re-build and install the system? thanks, Brett.
