You should use subject lines when writing emails. Anyways, more to the point. It wants freebsd's kernel source. I generally recommend keeping all of the freebsd source around, but the maybe "easiest" way to get the source is to run sysinstall (/stand/sysinstall) and go to Configure -> Distributions -> src -> and then select at least sys (the kernel sources). Good luck :) -- If I write a signature, my emails will appear more personalised. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
