Re: source


On the better mirrors, when you get the schedule of packages to be
downloaded via Setup.exe, you have the option of adding source download
for each package.  You can also descend the directories at those ftp
sites and find them, but it may be easier to let Setup help.  AFAIK, you
must blow away your local record of installation of those packages to
return and get the menu to download the sources.  Some of the sources
are identical to standard GNU packages; some are not.
