All you have to do is cat them together and pipe them through tar. For instance, the kernel sources are in ${FREEBSD-ROOT}/src/ssys.* on your favorite FTP site or /dists/src/ssys.* on the CDROM. Just grab all the files, cd to /usr/src, and run: cat /path/ssys.* | tar xzf - Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major
