"uname -r" will now produce "-STABLE" That's the easiest way to get a uname like that, but other ways include doi= ng a "buildworld/installworld" off the same slurped code to get a full user= land (not just kernel) that is -STABLE. --=20 Devin _____________ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidentia= l.
