OpenBSD 2.1 Release Contents:
-----------------------------
-The OpenBSD 2.1 release is organized in the following way:
-
-.../2.1/
- src/ Source distribution sets; see
- below.
-
-In addition to the files and directories listed above, there is one
-directory per architecture, for each of the architectures that OpenBSD
-2.1 has a binary distribution for. (That is described further along in
-this document).
-
-The source distribution sets can be found in subdirectories of the
-"source" subdirectory of the distribution tree. They contain the
-complete sources to the system. The source distribution sets
-are as follows:
-
- gsrc21 This set contains the "gnu" sources, including
- the source for the compiler, assembler, groff,
- and the other GNU utilities in the binary distribution
- sets.
- [ 7.1M gzipped, 30.4M uncompressed ]
-
- ksrc21 This set contains the sources to the OpenBSD 2.1
- kernel, config(8), config.old(8) and dbsym(8).
- [ 6.0M gzipped, 27.0M uncompressed ]
-
- ssrc21 This set contains the "share" sources, which include
- the sources for the man pages not associated with
- any particular program, the sources for the
- typesettable document set, the dictionaries, and more.
- [ 2.4M gzipped, 8.9M uncompressed ]
-
- src21 This set contains all of the OpenBSD 2.1 sources which
- are not mentioned above.
- [ 9.3M gzipped, 41.6M uncompressed ]
-
-It is worth noting that unless all of the source distribution sets
-are installed (except the domestic set), you can't rebuild and install
-the system from scratch, straight out of the box. However, all that is
-required to rebuild the system in that case is a trivial modification
-to one Makefile.
-
-The source distribution sets are distributed as groups of files named
-"set_name.xx" where "set_name" is the distribution set name, and "xx"
-is the sequence number of the file, starting with "aa" for the first
-file in the distribution set, then "ab" for the next, and so on. All
-of these files except the last one of each set should be exactly
-240,640 bytes long. (The last file is just long enough to contain the
-remainder of the data for that distribution set.)
-
-Catted together, the files belonging to a source distribution set
-comprise a gzipped tar file. If you want to look at list of the files
-contained in the set, you could use the command:
-
- cd /usr/src; cat set_name.?? | tar tvfz -
-
-or to actually extract the files contained in the set:
-
- cd /usr/src; cat set_name.?? | tar xfpz -
-
-In each of the source distribution set directories, there are two
-files named "CKSUMS" and "MD5" which contain the checksums of the
-files in that directory, as generated by the cksum(1) and md5(1)
-utilities respectively. If you suspect that one of the files is
-corrupt and have access to a cksum or md5 binary, you can compare
-their output to the "CKSUMS" or "MD5" file.

+Getting source code for your OpenBSD System:
+--------------------------------------------
+
+Now that your OpenBSD system is up and running, you probably want to get
+access to source code so that you can recompile pieces of the system.

+A few methods are provided. If you have an OpenBSD CD, the source code
+is provided. Otherwise, you can get the pieces over the Internet using
