    All of the ftp mirrors have it in the src directory of the release or
    snapshot directory. This directory contains a shell script "install.sh".
    Set the DESTDIR environment variable and run the shell script. The
    source, as it existed for that snapshot or release, will be installed in
    the directory specified by DESTDIR. If you want the source code for your
    current system, have cvsup installed and want to install the source code
    into /usr/src you can simply:

    cvsup -h cvsup15.freebsd.org /usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard*
