First, this question belongs on freebsd-questions, not freebsd-stable. If you're installing FreeBSD on a new machine, the files from the src distribution are only needed or used if you want to recompile some part of FreeBSD later. But they're not really a necessary part of getting the machine running, in the same way that the bin distribution is. I suggest that you take a look at the Installation chapter of the FreeBSD handbook, which can be found on the FreeBSD Web site: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install.html If you have any questions after that, you can send them to freebsd-questions@freebsd.org, but you'll need to be much more specific as to what you're trying to do and how. Saying "it doesn't install" doesn't give people enough information to help you. Good luck, Bruce. --==_Exmh_1717173135P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) Comment: Exmh version 2.3.1+ 05/14/2001 iD8DBQE8GTKP2MoxcVugUsMRAlxXAKDy+POBCPQJa/VOLgo7HA283RSiggCeJ7ZP 19LBaE/UwAUIMxMjv+MGvV0= =jvkQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_1717173135P-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
