In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG > ftp://releng4.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/i386/[newest snapshot], How about some 'defaults' such as selecting 4.0-LATEST-SNAP that's simply a symlink. Similarly for 5.0 etc. etc. etc. Further, if you select 4.0-LATEST, try releng 4, etc. By NO means do I imply removing manual ability; however, being able to select defaults would be nice. I've noticed that in running stable, I often have to change the install name to RELEASE in order to get somethings that I want (notably packages), which a symlink, again, would go a long way :) Just 1.95 cents on the subject....
