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. Jeffrey Fu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
