Additionally to using a SVN implementation (e. g. the "subversion" from the ports collection) you can use the following methods: 1. Download the "src" distribution from one of the mirrors, for example ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/i386/9.2-RELEASE/src.txz 2. Download the installation media and extract the "src" distribution (from src.txz on the media). 3. Use freebsd-update to obtain the "src" distribution (see "man freebsd-update" for details), it will update your local /usr/src directory. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
