Please wrap your lines at 70 characters so your mail may be easily read. You can easily check out the source code for 4.3 from the CVS repository, alternatively http://mirrorlist.freebsd.org/ lists lots of sites that still carry the installation files.

You should probably check out RELENG_4_3, which is 4.3 with all of fixes that were ever applied to it. But, of course, 4.3 is no longer supported, and there are probably known vulnerabilities, so it's probably not a good idea to actually run FreeBSD 4.3. -- Adam Fabian ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) pgpYp7Kzv7lgR.pgp Description: PGP signature
