Every RELEASE continues to live as STABLE until it becomes new RELEASE. Now about second problem - read comments in /usr/src/Makefile and documents on web about making upgrade from 2.X.X to 3.X. In short, you should use "make aout-to-elf" first. Also easiest way to upgrade is to install 3.2-RELEASE bin distribution first (~30Mb) and then cvsup and continue tracking as usualy... -- Oleg V.
