Failing that, can I get *just* the kernel sources? One of Yes, you can get just the sources, though I got mine for 2.1-RELEASE, so I don't know about that particular SNAP. Ftp to ftp.freebsd.org, cd /pub/FreeBSD/2.1-RELEASE/src, and get all the files like "ssys.*". You may be able to use pkg_add to load them, but in any case, if you cat them into a single file, gzip -d it, you'll have 14meg tar file with just the kernel sources. It doesn't matter where you untar them, but I think /usr/src/sys or /src/sys is pretty much the standard. Do a "man config" to see what you have to do next. Dave
