I'd like to study the source code for FreeBSD, but it seems that the source isn't readily available unless the operating system is installed first. I'm not really interested in running it, just yet, but I am very interested in looking at the kernel code right now. The 'src' directory seems filled with sections of archive files, but I don't apparently have the tools handy to read them (I tried the sbase.aa file, for example.) Any suggestions about transferring the source code without having to install the O/S? Jon Kirwan
