How do I tell what tree I have? uname -a reports: "4.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE #3: Tue Apr 17 19:01:56 EDT 2001" I followed the instructions in the advisories to the T. I take it that the patch that was asking for the filename did not execute, therefore it did nothting to my system. The one I am really worried about now is the one that failed and has left me with a partially goofed up system. How do I correct it? For reference the one that completely failed was libc.
