Hi, I recently obtained the 3.4-RELEASE ISO and installed that on my system. I'm now a little confused with regards to the 3.4-STABLE release - am I right in thinking that the RELEASE was a snapshot of STABLE at a certain point (Dec 1999)? If this is the case, and I wish to make my system STABLE, are there any listings of the files which have been changed since RELEASE, so I don't have to get *all* the files? I'm on a modem at home, so getting the whole src tree would take me ages - however I could FTP the files from university and bring them home - would that be okay and just copy the src tree I downloaded into my current src dir and "make world" ? So just wondered which is the best option for me here; simply get the latest src tree via ftp, or just the files that've been updated since RELEASE. If its as easy as getting the src tree, that would be easiest for me. I just need assurance its okay to simply do that with messing up my system (like there are other files which i need to update which i might not know about). Many thanks, Andy.
