Don't you have the ISO image? At least on the 7.0-CURRENT-200705 snapshot the 7.0-CURRENT-200705/src directory has the source. > What's the 'right' way to do this? Few suggestions, more or less related... I had problems using snapshots mainly 'cause of OS version tag. I think installing the system from a snapshot, getting the updated source and building it from scrath, would be better. And if you really want, you can get the source from a specific date(the snapshot's apparently) using cvs -D. HTH, Nikos
