Have you got a copy of cvsup that will work on that old a system? If so, then you should be able to use a supfile like the following to retrieve all of the system sources: *default host=cvsup.ca.freebsd.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release cvs tag=RELENG_2_2 (or RELENG_2_2_6_RELEASE) *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress src-all Then I believe you may have to hunt around in /usr/share/examples/cvsup to find out how to download some extra crypto stuff which has been rolled into the main codebase for modern releases. If you can't get hold of a version of cvsup that works on that system, you should be able to pull down the sources by anonymous cvs: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/anoncvs.html where you will ultimately want to run: cvs co -rRELENG_2_2 src which should get you the latest 2.2.x sources for the kernel and the rest of the system.
