Solved Trying to install ports and src on VM

Hi,
It's been a good few years since I played with FreeBSD. I now have a 10.0-RELEASE VM..
Code: 
FreeBSD freebsd.mydomain.com 10.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE #0 r260789:
Thu Jan 16 22:34:59 UTC 2014  root@snap.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64
Back in the day, if I wanted to install the source to look at header and C files, I would use sysinstall(8). A quick google tells me that this doesn't exist anymore, and I should use bsdconfig(8), yeah? The interface for that, however, doesn't have anything that looks like I could install the sources.

I've tried pkg install sources, but that doesn't work, either.

Can someone advise? Thanks.
 
You've got it. Usually the Handbook is a good first resource before asking the question. Keep source up to date is covered here:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/svn.html

While we're here, ports are covered here:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-using.html

FYI, you can close your own thread. Just "edit thread" and tag it as solved.

Another helpful hint:
FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE has been out for a while and actually just hit end of life a few weeks ago. You'll want to upgrade to a supported release. See http://www.freebsd.org/security/security.html
