If you have the CD, you could just install the sources from that. Insert the CD, run /stand/sysinstall, go to Configure, Options, set the installation media to CD, then go to Distributions and choose the 'src' distribution. Having done that you can use the 'make world' procedure to build the new system from sources. Note: I haven't done it this way myself but I don't see why it wouldn't work. > Also when we do a CVSup where are the files that are downloaded stored, as I > may be able to do a local machine from the backup I have ?
