  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.
 

 Thanks for the URL. Should I file a PR about the handbook issue?

Current way of downloading sources

2012-02-21 Thread Fernando Apesteguía
Hi all,

Before 9.0 I used to use sysinstall to download sources for several
distributions including kernel and libraries. However, this doesn't seem to
work anymore. Whatever source distribution I try to download I get the
error that it doesn't exist in the server.

The handbook[1] still says sysinstall can be used to do the job. Is it
right? If so, what could be my mistake.

Thanks.
