I think you have the following options (didn't use them all myself, so YMMV): 1. Get src.tar (it tars even though it does not compress). 2. Find a mirror that does compression. 3. Get the src distribution from releng22.freebsd.org. This machine builds a -stable snapshot daily, so you'll be at most a single day behind. > > -- > Cheers =8-} Mike > Friede, Völkerverständigung und überhaupt blabla > Hope this helps, Nadav To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
