Actually, why would you want to know this and how do you define base? I have a laptop on which I installed years ago FreeBSD 5.5. Then I upgraded the sources using cvsup to 6.0 and rebuilt it, than again to 6.1, 6.2 and up to 7.1. So what is the base in this case? Regards Rambius -- Tangra Mega Rock: http://www.radiotangra.com
