And when you want to walk around with a CD, to my newbie experience CTM even feels like the most logical way. You can get the files using any ftp-client, put them on a CD. Nothing FreeBSD-ish happening yet. For the -stable branch, you need a 'complete' set starting with the latest "src-4.0x00xEmpty.gz", and all the following "src-4.0xyz.gz" files. The 'empty' file is about 60MB, all the (~daily) changes after that are usually a few kb only. Put the CD in your FreeBSD box, mount /cdrom mv /usr/src /usr/src.old mkdir /usr/src cd /usr/src ctm -v /cdrom/src-4.0* and that's all (check before you do; this is from the top of my head). Also check out the handbook for the full story, and on what to do afterwards. HTH, Harry Kroonen ps. You need a fair bit of 'make'ing after installing the sources. I guess there are ways to avoid having to re'make' everything on each individual machine. Ask the experts :-). ps2. didn't see any new CTM files since about a week ago. Anybody know more about it?
