You'll find that recent FreeBSD distributions don't include sources to any packages :-(. You can get the source to a package by finding it's port directory, and doing "make patch" - or a similar target - in that directory. For the X on the distribution, that's /usr/ports/x11/XFree86. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
