Sure. ftp to ftp.freebsd.org. then cd to /pub/FreeBSD/2.2.7-RELEASE/src
Download all the files there. These are of the form
xxx.aa, xxx.ab, xxx.ac.... yyy.aa,....
They can be cat'ted together to make a series of tar.gz files.
On Unix,
cat sys.[a-z][a-z] >sys.tar.gz
gives the kernel sources. I have no idea how to do this on a system
without unix tools, but it's just a simple concatenation in
order.
These are all on the CDROM set, too.
