Just installed 7.2-release in an old Pavilion 4455 (PII, 256M) and it runs great. Csuped src and ports and rebuilt world and generic kernel for 7.2-stable and that went well. My question is why are the files in /etc in 7.2-stable older versions (generally) than in 7.2-release? I do not just mean older by date, but older versions of the files - like many of the config files for sendmail or the net. Why is stable using older versions of these files than release? Mostly I did not let mergemaster install the files from the build because they were so much older than the original release versions. Again, why are the files for stable so much older? Thanks, Mike Gass
