Unable to obtain PowerPC Kernel and System sources

[Shlomi Marco]

Fabian.

Thanks for the swift (and detailed) reply.

Will do so. Just for general info, I've installed the system about 3 days
ago from an ISO file I've downloaded from FreeBSD ftp.
Did I just accidentally downloaded an old iso, or did 9.1-RELEASE ISOs were
never released?

Thank you and best regards,
S.
