I want to download the FreeBSD 2.2.2 for IPV6 Mobility development.
Because of the firewall, I can only access the Freebsd site by a SUN
Solaris machine.  I use CVSup to download the FreeBSD2.2.2 from
cvsup7.freebsd.com to the Solaris machine.  After the download, it
create a src directory(The size is about 180MB) in the solaris machine.
Then, I did a "tar cvf src.tar src" to compress it and ftp it to a PC
running FreeBSD3.3. I checked the size of the src.tar files and they are
the same in Solaris and the FreeBSD machines. After I uncompress it("tar
xvf src.tar"), the directory has only 150MB.   Why is the uncompress
directory different in size in Solaris and FreeBSD?
Another question is, after I get the src directory, what should I do to
change the FreeBSD 3.3 to 2.2.2?  Should I copy the src(the download one
for 2.2.2) to /usr/src of the FreeBSD 3.3 machine, then do "make world"
and then rebuild the kernel?  Do I need to do "cvs" before make world?
What path should I set the $CVSROOT?  Thanks for answering my question.
