When I started to build a stripped down version of FreeBSD I was using 5.2 RELEASE. Now I keep finding that 5.2 has vanished from most servers, and only 5.2.1 is available. This is particularly troubling, because I'm worried that I'm targetting my product on a mysterious version of FreeBSD. We might be using whatever version we choose for the next 5 years or more, without change. So, my questions is.... what happened to 5.2 RELEASE? Is there some reason that it has gone away? Should I be upgrading my embedded distro? Andrew
