hrmmmmzzzzzzzzz Perhaps I should use a more simple approach, as I feel I have been misquoted Obviously, I was referring to 4.9-STABLE, I actually run 4.8-STABLE, and have read the handbook, including chapter 21, I was not after the difference between -STABLE -CURRENT -RELEASE, I was actually referring to the link http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.9R/schedule.html which states that the tree will 'unfreeze' at the end of September. As we are now in October, and I think the system is the greatest to be developed, I am curious to see if 4 9 has been labelled (if that's the right word) as 4.9-STABLE, as I have read that when a release (as in 4.8 / 4.9 not in -RELEASE) becomes -STABLE, that is the time top fire up cvsup and make/buildworld. As I had mentioned in my earlier communication, I found some nice suprises when I upgraded from 4.7 to 4.8, (just happened to start on a 4.7 disc, then cvsup to 4.8), and am looking forward to seeing what 4.9 might bring. So, I was wondering if anybody knew anything about 4.9-STABLE. :) Regards Andrew Kozak -------Original Message------- From: Kevin D. Kinsey, DaleCo, S.P.

And the people with 4.9 Pre-release? They've already upgraded. Look into Chapter 21 in the handbook. You can upgrade 'til your heart's content... :-) Kevin Kinsey _______________________________________________ freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-newbies To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-newbies-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" .
