I don't know why everyone suddenly found the src-2.2 CTM collection and has mistaken it for the system source, which it isn't. It's the base delta for the 2.2 series, thus being 2.2.0. So, welcome to 2.2.0 :-) If you want the 2.2.2 or later source, you either need to : 1. Subscribe to CTM. 2. Use CVSUP. Instructions for #1 and #2 are in the Handbook. 3. Grab the latest from releng22.freebsd.org:/pub/FreeBSD/2.2-970825-RELENG/src/* and extract using `cat s*.* | tar xzf -'. Replace 9708265 with today's date.
