I'm trying to upgrade FreeBSD from source, but my /usr/src directory is empty. "Absolute FreeBSD" glibly says to "grab the source tarball from a FreeBSD mirror". I found a list of mirrors here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors- ftp.html But it isn't clear to me which tarball I need to 'grab', or where it is on the mirror. Basically, I want to get to the point where I can type: cd /usr/src make buildworld And build FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE I'd like to download the source to the server, rather than inserting a CD in the machine, since I"m 2 hours away from the machine. Thanks: John
