Yes, I do think so. Oliver's release is the same as all other releases, the "make release" just has not been executed on cdrom.com, but on hermes.rz.tu-clausthal.de, if Oliver still uses this machine. When the source code is the same, so should the executables be. When they don't differ, they should cause no more and no less problems than the distribution on ftp.freebsd.org. Cheers, Thiemo PS. Oliver is on vacation and without network connection right now, so I try to answer this one as well on his behalf as possible without having built the release myself -- ftp.tu-clausthal.de is his work, not mine. -- Thiemo Nordenholz Chemistry *BSD WinNT CP Coffee! 2*P-II/400 fBSD 4.0-R P/133 fBSD 3.2 AXPpci33 oBSD/alpha 2.4 MP2k NOS2.1 Cx486/66 fBSD 4.0-RELEASE SUN SS10 Solaris 7 i486/66 fBSD 4.0-CURRENT To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
