To be a bit more explicit, the version numbering scheme changed between FreeBSD 2 and FreeBSD 3. In version two, FreeBSD 2.x.y was a release, like FreeBSD 3.x and FreeBSD 4.x. I don't know if there were ever point releases like 3.5.1 for 2.x.y, but they would have been 2.x.y.z. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Q: How do you make the gods laugh?
