I have a fast 4.2-stable box that I do the build on. I then do the installworld on a slower (ppro 200) -current box, my laptop, my router box, and other misc boxes in my house. Sometimes this build is current and other times it is -stable. I use it to make sure that the 4.x upgrade path to current works. :-) Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
