Am interested in installing 2.2.1-RELEASE on a few machines this coming weekend. However, I understand that important improvements have been made since it was released, and was therefore looking at installing the 970422-RELENG snapshot, which several people have recommended as more stable (especially with Adaptec host adapters). Is this the best version to use? Will the floppy disk do a proper upgrade from 2.1.x via the Net? Also, on the FreeBSD FTP server, I see some files marked 22upgrade-YY.MM.DD.tgz. What are these? Is it necessary to install them to get the latest ports and packages? --Brett Glass
