[SM] 
Upon close inspection of the message, one will notice that the output of
uname -a says I'm running freebsd 4.4... AFTER using cvsup to update to
(unless I've misunderstood how that entire concept works) 4.5.. or at
least if it was 4.4 stable or something.


Therein lies my problem.  My question was simply if it was normal to
still say its freebsd 4.4, or.. if somewhere, I did something wrong, or
if the upgrade is still incomplete.. or something
