Yes, of course. First, download ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/old-releases/i386/5.2-RELEASE/src/scontrib* which is scontrib.aa ... scontrib.bb, along with install.sh. You can then use the command # ./install.sh contrib which will concatenate the archive parts scontrib.* and extract them info /usr/src (or any other place you may specify). -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
