Hi!

Have a lock in the Handbook (http://www.de.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook.html),
 there is a section (15, 16) describing -stabel, -current, -RELEASE, and -SNAP 
trees.

Why do you want to install 2.1.5 it's obsolete. The core team realized a lot 
of bug fixing and elemination of security problems in 2.1.6, or better, the 
soon coming 2.1.7-RELEASE!
