Under the chapter 7 of the FAQ, the question 

"How do I use sendmail for mail delivery with UUCP?"

a user is advised on how to install the sources from the CD-ROM. The
FAQ states:

        #  cd /usr/src
	#  tar -xvzf /cdrom/dists/src/ssmailcf.aa 

This is wrong since that directory does not exist on 3.3-RELEASE
CD. And I have also been told that it is the same for 3.2-RELEASE.

Fix: 

The proper way to extract the sources should be:

After mounting the frist CD-ROM:

# cd /cdrom/src
# cat scontrib.?? | tar xzf - -C /usr/src contrib/sendmail
