I've been running FreeBSD since 2.2.7, and have never had a problem understanding the difference between -STABLE, -RELEASE, etc. I have an older server that I cvsup first to see just how well the upgrade goes, and how the new system runs, before upgrading the production server. What surprises me is that the members of this list seem to like to quarrel over this subject (and others?). I did have a problem after a cvsup on 04/08/2001, as the 'cim' sound kernel module would not compile. I eliminated the subdirectory listing in the Makefile, and it simply did not attempt to compile the module. Why was the kernel make compiling modules for devices I did not set in my config? I suppose I'm either missing something, or I need to RTFM over again... -- Jeff Love jl@burghcom.com ----------------- Burgh-Com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
