Dear Mr. "FreeBSD-questions"! ;) In the "FreeBSD-stable" section, the handbook speaks of staying stable using CTM via e-mail; in the CTM section, however, it merely states that CTM is intended to provide daily FreeBSD-current updates. My question is: (1) Can I actually obtain FreeBSD-stable (or FreeBSD-RELEASE, as I presume they're smaller because published more frequently and I don't actually need a 100% stable system) via CTM? (2) How do I do it? (which CTM mailing list, which base tree) Ah, and BTW there's a few other questions i'd like to ask: (3) I've got the Walnut Creek 2.1.7 CDROM - can I use the base delta on the 2nd CD (the one with the ports) to start off with CTM (i.e. can I still get the deltas from 2.1.7 to 2.2.x-whatever?) (4) Does it make sense? (i.e. if the base delta for 2.2.x is 30 MB and the deltas is 50 MB, it would be quite foolish and a waste of money since telephone costs aren't actually fun over here in Germany) Thanks & yours Philipp Reichmuth
