Subject:   Copying [via tar] /usr/src to other pc -- won't build world.
Message-ID:  <SAK.2001.07.09.mjhisrfj@support10>

Hello,
	This weekend I tried to copy over /usr/src from a pc
that just finished doing cvsup -- the buildworld/kernel went fine.

I did the following:
cd /usr/src
rm -rf *

on the good pc:
cd /usr/src
tar zcvf usr.src.tar.z *

then I ftp'ed that file over to the other pc and extracted it in
/usr/src -- it would not build -- would error out after an hour or so.
[fresh install of 4.0-R, the good pc is 4.3-S]

So, what did I miss that it would not build ?
Ever since, I have just fixed that pc to do cvsup, but how can I cvsup one pc,
and then just ftp the files over.
