If so, what could be my mistake. The easiest way to get the RELEASE sources is to download them using FTP: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/9.0-RELEASE/src.txz (and for amd64 architecture respectively) Leaving the discussion "old vs. new installer" aside, this method should always work. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...help
