Thanks Grigory,

That did the trick....

I am starting to get a feel for the layout of the FreeBSD system and it looks to ber really clean.

Thanks again,
Lonnie

Lonnie,

run /stand/sysinstall as root

choose Configure->Distributions->src-> choose what sources to install

and sysinstall will ask you what media would you like to use for installation.
You can choose the installation over the net from various servers.

And generally, you have to read chapters number 20 and number 14.14 in the 
handbook to
keep your sources up to date.


Greetings All,

I am new to FreeBSD but have a lot of Linux experience so I think that
the migration should not be too difficult.

The reason that I am investigating FreeBSD is because I hear that it performs GREAT under heavy loads and many larger ISP are using it without fail. In my experience, Linux, although a great OS, seems to bog
down under heavy loading. I could be wrong though and it could have just
been to misconfiguration on my part.

Well, I have a base installation of FreeBSD 4.11 which is needed for a
particular project but now need to compile the kernel to support QUOTA's.

My question is how do I install the sources over the web so that I can
compile the kernel to support quotas?

The FreeBSD docs tell a little, but mostly assume that you have the sources already on the system to compile which I do not have and need to
download them.

If some one could please give me a little guidance then I would greatly
appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,
Lonnie
