Hi all,

I have been working with FreeBSD for about a month now, and it is my first
foray into the BSD/UNIX/Linux world.  I have a question about upgrading.  I
have tried several different ways to go about upgrading, and still can't
seem to get the desired results.  I started out with a 4.8 install from
ftp.freebsd.org.  My end goal is to build a FreeBSD firewall machine based
on 4.8-STABLE.  When I put RELENG_4_8 in my supfile,
download/recompile/etc., uname -a still shows the version at 4.8-RELEASE.
When I cvsup with RELENG_4 in my supfile, I got upgraded to 4.10-STABLE.  Is
there any way to upgrade just to 4.8-STABLE?  Am I going about this the
wrong way?

Thank you all so much,
