https://reviews.freebsd.org/D42743 I added some lines so that readers can learn how to obtain source code without jumping to another page. (In reply to Minsoo Choo from comment #1) I like that. Can we add in more explanation, such as: ``` The source code of FreeBSD, stored at `/usr/src`, is required to build NanoBSD. If that path doesn't exist or is empty, you can install the source code by: ``` This will address my earlier issue of not knowing what to do if /usr/src is empty or what that folder is for. A commit in branch main references this bug: URL: https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/doc/commit/?id=02d9ae11650e82b2129f80d3e19a826e7c731585 commit 02d9ae11650e82b2129f80d3e19a826e7c731585 Author: Minsoo Choo <minsoochoo0122@proton.me> AuthorDate: 2023-11-27 15:04:53 +0000 Commit: Mitchell Horne <mhorne@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2023-11-27 15:05:00 +0000 NanoBSD: add how to obtain the source code There is a request in the bugzilla report to introduce how to obtain the source code for building NanoBSD.

Created attachment 245857 [details] Git patch with changes Hello there, here's a suggested documentation change for NanoBSD to help users that have empty /usr/src directories. I got stuck here at the very first step for a while because I didn't install src during my OS install so I couldn't figure out what to do here. I believe I've linked to the handbook entry properly, but a verification would help. Thanks!
