There ain't no FreeBSD kernel source package, or kernel source port (or at least not that I'm aware of, and I wouldn't expect there to be). You will need to install the source files from the appropriate FreeBSD installation media and / or from the 'net. You can, for instance, use cvsup(1) to pull the FreeBSD kernel sources for any particular revision (or indeed date / time) down. Please see http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html for more information on using cvsup to update / obtain FreeBSD kernel sources, but do also be aware that you're probably better off installing the sources from the installation media first, then updating them (if you feel this is necessary for your particular version of FreeBSD) to avoid having to download the whole lot. > thanks I have probably explained this a little too quickly, so please feel free to ask if you'd like clarification. -- Nick Withers email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.nickwithers.com Mobile: +61 414 397 446 _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
