(smart server eh?) of course this is a LOT of sources.. (100s of MB) you might want to be more slective by cd'ing further into the tree. also consider: 1/ buy the cdrom.. for 30 dollars it's a good buy 2/ get a pc, get the boot floppy, install it the install process will ftp over the sources as part of the install 3/ get and compile SUP on whatever unix box you have and SUP the sources.. (see the www pages at www.freebsd.org for more options)
