    Greetings All,

    Actually I did read over that information in the handbook but it only
    seems to go into detail on mounting a CDROM and then installing the sources.

    It does not tell me how, or where to download the sources over the net
    or if there is some pkg way to get the sources. That is why I have sent
    these messages to the forum for additional help.

    Thanks,
    Lonnie
