You need the binary distribution to have a working system.
After having a working system, you can:
- get sources for the kernel. Files are called with ``sys'' in the
source distribution. (you will be able to make a new kernel according
(exactly) to your hardware). 7MB+2MB are needed.
- get the full source distribution, but you need more space (something
like 80MB+60MB).
ps: xMB+yMB is x MB to store the files, additional y MB are required to
compile them.
enjoy FreeBSD.
