Yes. If you want to track one of the development branches (HEAD, RELENG_= N) then you have to update sources by csup(1) or various other mechanisms an= d then compile your kernel+world yourself. Alternatively you can track release branches (RELENG_N_M) in the same way= , or so long as the release branch is still in support, you can use freebsd-update(8) to pull down pre-built binary updates.=20 Cheers, Matthew --=20 Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil.
