If you did a clean-install of 5.3-release, then it is in your past. But if you are running 5.2, and then you cvsup'ed your /usr/src tree to 5.3, then the switch would be in your future. You would be running a 5.2.1 system, and reading UPDATING to find out what tricks were needed to do a source-upgrade to 5.3. I admit this could have been worded a bit more clearly, but when that was written I was thinking only of people who were doing source upgrades. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
