Other places you could try are: ftp://src.doc.ic.ac.uk ftp://sunsite.unc.edu Ok, so the first one you ould be pulling across the pond, but it's pretty fast. If you get a good download, just look for the install.iso file, it's pretty much all you need if you've also got your kernel image as described above, just put it onto a cdrom, or expand it onto a hard drive etc and you should be set to go. Although there are a lot of fioles, the iso is 649 mb, and contains most if not all of what you might want.
