Well, i am confused, if i run this supfile: *default tag=RELENG_3 *default host=cvsup3.freebsd.org *default prefix=/usr *default base=/usr *default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress src-base src-bin src-contrib src-etc src-gnu src-include src-kerberosIV src-lib src-libexec src-release src-sbin src-share src-sys src-tools src-usrbin src-usrsbin doc-all ports-all tag=. What "-stable" version will i recive? 3.5-stable or 4.2-stable? Also, Scot, when i installed this system (6 mouths ago, or so) i downloaded etinc.com drivers and added the code to the kernel. Now, upgrading the system to -stable, do i need to install the driver again? If i do, the same version (3.4)?
