It's kind of hard to accept that -STABLE doesn't necessarily mean "stable" (currently), if you see what I mean ;-). For a production environment, you'd install -RELEASE, and then apply the "hotfixes" which are part of -STABLE (ie. RELENG_X_Y); makes sense to me. -- Regards, Juha PGP fingerprint: B7E1 CC52 5FCA 9756 B502 10C8 4CD8 B066 12F3 9544 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
