If yes, /boot/kernel of 8.1 and /boot/kernel 8.1-p1 must be different. So binary diff of /boot/kernel also must be installed during freebsd-update. It's my opinion. Why not? I think it's not reasonable to have updated system without actually be possible to know that it's really updated. And I think that if you are looking for real patch level of your OS, you will look at uname -a, not in newvers.sh file. Correct me if i'm wrong. 2010/9/27 Jason : > On Mon, Sep 27, 2010 at 09:01:38PM +0700, Phan Quoc Hien thus spake: >> >> Try rebuild your kernel and get 8.1-RELEASE-p1!
