Eg:- ftp://ftp.freebsd.org:/pub/FreeBSD/2.2.6-RELEASE/src/* has the tarballs for the sources that made up the 2.2.6-RELEASE. If you intend to track the sources as they develop, you should (a) either subscribe to CTM mailing lists (b) use CVSup (the recommended route) and bring down a local copy of the projects CVS tree. If you are just looking at one or two files, you can use the WWW interface to the CVS tree at: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi There is information in the FreeBSD handbook on how to operate each of these tools. Check out http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/ Hmm, perhaps this should be a FAQ? Koshy To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
