Try reading through http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cutting-edge.html which has info on how to track -stable basically installing cvsup and using the following file to update your source: /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile then rebuilding your world and kernel. To be honest I'd recommend against going to -stable at the moment as there's been a rush of MFCs recently due to the source going into code freeze ready for 4.5-RELEASE in january. If you leave it for a week or two then it'll be in code freeze where it's meant to be very stable :) -- Simon Dick simond@irrelevant.org "Why do I get this urge to go bowling everytime I see Tux?"
