It seems that cvsup thing is the standard way to go with STABLE. But there *is* a STABLE downloadable, and that's what I installed: From=20the main page -> Getting FreeBSD -> Handbook chapter on=20 obtaining FreeBSD -> FTP sites -> Mirror sites database -> i386 snaps available -- and there we have a page with the three latest CURRENTs and the three latest STABLEs! :) There seems to be just one mirror site, though, but it is there anyway. --=20 Olli J=E4rvinen mail: oltaja00@otol.fi "There is the easy way, and there is the right way."
