Probably not - RELENG_4_6_2_RELEASE is exactly what was released as 4.6.2 - RELENG_4_6 is sure to have all the security fixes on the 4.6 branch. I would not reccomend either now though as the current stable release for 4.x is 4.11 and 4.6 is rather old. -- C:>WIN | Directable Mirror Arrays The computer obeys and wins. | A better way to focus the sun You lose and Bill collects. | licences available see | http://www.sohara.org/
