The 2.2.7-RELEASE CD-ROM is -RELEASE. There are no -STABLE CD-ROMs, because -STABLE keeps changing. -CURRENT CD-ROMs are called snaphots. > This question dues to i got src-2.2.08* and then a rebuild the world, my > itentd is to update from 2.2.7 to 2.2.8, but my uname -s output > indicates that i am runnning 2.2.7-stable. Should not it be 2.2.8 ? Yes, it should. This information is stored in /usr/src/sys/conf/newvers.sh: check what you have there. You don't say how you got the 2.2.8 sources, but I suppose it was via cvsup. What tag did you use? If newvers.sh is wrong, there's a chance that you didn't update other stuff as well. You should check your log files (you did log the updates, didn't you?) to check that you supped the correct version.
