Off the top of my head I'm not sure, but you could add the src line to
youre apt.sources list and  get the files that way or and this is a
novel idea, buy the cd's and get all the sources in there, only around
£30, you could try:

http://www.debian.org/CD/vendors/

ftp://gd.tuwien.ac.at/opsys/linux/debian-cd/images/3.0_r1/i386

And download the iso's, I'm pretty sure images 4,5,6,7 are all source
iso's

you could install say Lindow's or Xandros and watch it wipe youre hdd..

Not enough warning or help or too much, at times you cannot win
