It's no problem to install cvsup-without-gui from ports or use the csup utility (I think it was already present in 5.2) to use the # make update way from within /usr/src - with correctly setup supfiles, of course, but that's quite easy. Put this into /etc/make.conf: SUP_UPDATE=yes SUP=/usr/bin/csup SUPFLAGS=-g -L 2 SUPHOST=cvsup.freebsd.org SUPFILE=/etc/sup/standard.sup Or change the SUP line, if you've installed cvsup-without-gui to SUP=/usr/local/bin/cvsup Then create /etc/sup directory and create the following standard.sup file (which controls what will be subject to update): *default host=cvsup.freebsd.org *default base=/var/db *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_5_2_0 *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress src-all You can change cvsup.freebsd.org into a mirror near you. Check the correct setting for RELENG_5_2_0 (equals 5.2-RELEASE, if I see this correctly) or any other version you want to obtain (such as 5.2 with security patches, latest of 5.x, generally latest). -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

And as Glen said you can get the sources from SVN. In fact, you can get the sources from CVS without trying to install an SVN client. You will need the cvsup-without-gui package as csup was not in the base of 5.2 AFAIK. There is a ready package for 5-STABLE here: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5-stable/net/cvsup-without-gui-16.1h_3.tbz though I am not certain if this will run in 5.2. You will also need a supfile similar to this (you may wish to change host to something closer to you) *default host=cvsup10.FreeBSD.org *default base=/var/db *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_5_2_0_RELEASE *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress src-all ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Yes, of course. First, download ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/old-releases/i386/5.2-RELEASE/src/scontrib* which is scontrib.aa ... scontrib.bb, along with install.sh. You can then use the command # ./install.sh contrib which will concatenate the archive parts scontrib.* and extract them info /usr/src (or any other place you may specify). -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

I want to be able to read and compile the source. I have looked at ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/old-releases/i386/ but am unable to find an iso and am not sure how to make a iso or install cd from what is provided. I have installed the system minus scontrib and it boots ok.

The contrib/ subtree contains various additional modules and libraries, such as amd/expat/ less/ ngatm/ smbfs/ bc/ file/ libbegemot/ ntp/tcp_wrappers/ bind9/ gcc/libf2c/ nvi/tcpdump/ binutils/ gcclibs/libobjc/one-true-awk/ tcsh/ bsnmp/ gdb/libpcap/openbsm/telnet/ bzip2/ gdtoa/ libreadline/openpam/texinfo/ com_err/gnu-sort/ libstdc++/ opie/ top/ cpio/ gperf/ lukemftp/ pam_modules/traceroute/ csup/ groff/ lukemftpd/ pf/ wpa_supplicant/ cvs/hostapd/ncurses/pnpinfo/ diff/ ipfilter/ netcat/ sendmail/ This is from a FreeBSD 7 installation. In 5.2, there is surely less stuff included. :-) Depending on what you want to do with "accessing the source code", it may be valid to say that you can leave out scontrib, but as far as I remember, it will be needed for building things from the source code (make vuildworld and buildkernel). -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
