I forget the details. Security does come to mind. > I would appreciate an email telling me that there is no security fixes > or anything else important that I missed by upgrading to the wrong > branch.. -- Jonathan M. Slivko To answer the real question: You didn't upgrade to the wrong branch. 3.5.0 and 3.5.1 are both snapshots of 3.5-STABLE. If you cvsupped a version after the 3.5.1 release date, then the system you're running is 3.5.1-RELEASE + fixes, which is presumably what you want. > P.S.

Since what you downloaded was an update to what you had already installed, deleting them would involve deleting the OS. However, if you've already built and installed from sources, you can delete /usr/obj. <mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
