A diff(1) on the two files on my 5.4 system is just a few lines, mostly comments and the ID tag. What's important is which release tag you use. A conservative tag for your situation would be RELENG_4_11. Only slightly less conservative would be RELENG_4, and I'm not sure but what the two are close to lockstepped as the developers are spending most of their time on 6.X and 5.X. Grab src-all and your handbook and build world to your heart's content! Kevin Kinsey
