Hmm, this brings up another interesting question. First, to put this in context: Jordan K.

Ok, so, let's assume I JUST want to incorporate bugfixes into the -RELEASE (be it 3.x or whatever) that I have on a particular machine. How would I go about doing this? I have machines all the way from 2.2.2-RELEASE through 3.3-RELEASE, and even one I track -STABLE on (for both development of a PicoBSD-based "product" I am doing and also to keep the OS up to date). It would be nice to leave the 3.x machines "alone" except for bugfixes. The 2.2.2-RELEASE machine has been ignored for a LONG time as it would be a pain to upgrade/rebuild. I plan on replacing it this month. - Forrest W. Christian (forrestc@imach.com) KD7EHZ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- iMach, Ltd., P.O.
