erf. Seems harder to find than it should be, perhaps. However, using the search box in the front page does answer the question, so I don't feel TOO guilty... :) http://www.openbsd.org/anoncvs.html http://www.openbsd.org/ftp.html (should be in faq5.html, but isn't currently) both describe 'em: sys.tar.gz is the kernel source files src.tar.gz is the REST of the userland files if you want to build the whole thing, you need BOTH. They are broken up on the FTP servers as some people with limited bandwidth would only need to customize the kernel, and wouldn't care about the userland. On the CDROM (paranoia is setting in, I don't have my CD handy, so maybe I'm wrong), there is only one, containing everything, since downloading isn't an issue. Nick.
