Anthony when you downloaded and installed the 5.0 ISO you installed the -RELEASE line of the OS. If you set up CVSUP to sync the -CURRENT line then you'll be updating your system to the -CURRENT line the next time you build world. If you haven't 'build world' yet, you're still running -RELEASE. I'm trying to recall, and perhaps I'm wring, but you should be able to do a 'uname -a' at the command line and it'll tell you what kernel you're running.... -release or -current. -- Anthony Abby http://www.comicsnsuch | Comic Community News http://www.aplusdata.com | System Consultation Web Development To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
