Like it says, it's 3.3-RELEASE - 3.3-STABLE is the branch that continually improves and periodically freezes into releases. 3.3-RELEASE is a fine starting point, though. >2.

You should download src-3.0300xEmpty.gz instead (it's more economical to dl the _latest_ xEmpty) but besides that it looks fine. >3. Subscribed to Mailing lists: ctm-src-3, ctm-announce. Good. >4.

You should look at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/synching.html#CTM and also at the -stable and -questions archives. I know there are some postings on how to use CTM, dating from when I was trying to figure it out and there seemed to be only one person in world who'd ever used it before... I guess it's not very popular. But hey, I like it, and it's easy once you know what you're doing :) If you have any further questions, just ask. -Charon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
