Date: Mon, 23 Sep 2002 10:32:06 -0400 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2653.19) Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG In the release notes, it says "This distribution of FreeBSD 4.6.2-RELEASE is a ``point release'' " Does this mean you need to "upgrade" a 4.6 machine to 4.6.2 ? If this is the case, why do the iso's allow a full install. (I just installed 4.6.2 on a machine with a blank hard disk) I guess parts will be missing? Could someone clarify? This may have been covered awhile ago, but I seem to have missed it, and cannot find an answer in the archives. Thanks Anthony J.
