If you want another version (-stable or -current for example) then start at ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ and follow your nose. BTW the files have .aa, .ab, .ac etc. extensions. They are .tgz tarballs but then split(1) into ~240KB chunks to allow easy install from floppies. They are first cat(1)'ed together then piped to tar(1), e.g.: for i in $dists; do echo " Extracting source component: $i" cat s${i}.?? | tar --unlink -xpzf - -C ${DESTDIR}/usr/src done See the file install.sh in each sub-directory.
