RELENG_4 Note that -RELEASE, or -PRERELEASE or -RC or whatever are just labels for the -stable branch at some point in time. All releases are just snapshots of -STABLE. It is fairly irrelevant if 'uname -a' says -RELEASE or -STABLE or -PRERELEASE or somethinh else. If you cvsup with the RELENG_4 tag you will always get the latest 4.x-stable no matter what it is called at that time. (I am sure this is covered in some detail in the FAQ, or possibly the handbook, both of which you should have checked first.) -- Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
