The FTP sites have >2.1.6 - is that better (in terms of bug fixes etc.) ? I am running on several machines 2.1.5R with some modifications (sendmail, bind, etc.) The systems are pretty stable.

If you do brand new installations I would recommend to use the 2.1.6R version. > >The FreeBSD-stable directory on these sites does'nt appear to have a full >release under it, which is confusing. > >The hardware I am using is : Tyan 1563D (one 686/133 CPU), 2940UW, >Quantum 4.3 disk etc. > >Any hints will be greatly appreciated. > >Rama Duggal > Ulf. ----------------------------------------------------------- Alameda Networks, Inc. | Ulf Zimmermann (ulf@Alameda.net) 1525 Pacific Avenue | Phone: (510)769-2936 Alameda, CA 94501 | Fax : (510)521-5073
