I want to be able to read and compile the source. I have looked at
ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/old-releases/i386/

but am unable to find an iso and am not sure how to make a iso or
install cd from what is provided. I have installed the system minus
scontrib and it boots ok. Would I be able to get the full source from
the ftp-archive, exctract it to my FreeBSD system and then re-build and
install the system?

thanks,

Brett.
