Many Thanks to Mark Murray and Hroi for quick answers. Since I've moved this to freebsd-questions at Hroi's suggestion, let me ask some questions... I'm curious: How would we set the cvsupfile to stay with 4.2-STABLE? Despite Mark's protestations to the contrary, I'm uneasy about putting "BETA" on my production systems. How long between a "I'll fix that tonight" update of a driver and the time that change gets rolled into the "ENG" code? Is there an easy way to poll the cvs repository for a list of valid version numbers/dates that can be requested?
