I'm new to FreeBSD so please excuse my ignorance about the following.

I've inherited a fully configured system but I have to rebuild the
kernel.  Unfortunately there is no source on this machine.

What is the best way to go about installing ONLY source on an existing
system.  I'm afraid sysinstall will mess up the existing setup and I
can't find a package with just source.

Can anyone give me some pointers here?


Cheers,

Jeff Newton
