Let me quote from the FreeBSD Handbook:
<QUOTE>
18.1.2. Who needs FreeBSD-current?
FreeBSD-current is made generally available for 3 primary interest
groups:
1. Members of the FreeBSD group who are actively working on some part
of the source tree and for whom keeping ``current'' is an absolute
requirement.
2. Members of the FreeBSD group who are active testers, willing to
spend time working through problems in order to ensure that
FreeBSD-current remains as sane as possible. These are also people
who wish to make topical suggestions on changes and the general
direction of FreeBSD.
3. Peripheral members of the FreeBSD (or some other) group who merely
wish to keep an eye on things and use the current sources for
reference purposes (e.g. for reading, not running). These people
also make the occasional comment or contribute code.
</QUOTE>
If you still want to install -current, you should read that
entire chapter of the Handbook.
Regards
Oliver
