The release notes say: - FreeBSD -STABLE, version 4.7 or later which should include 4.7-RELEASE. There have been various reports around the mailing lists of people getting the nvidia drivers working on other versions, including 5-CURRENT, but NVIDIA won't support that. > 4.7-STABLE won't have ISOs, right? Probably not, but see http://www.freebsdmirrors.org/FBSDsites.php3 for sites where you can do a network install of a more recent snapshot. Or read Chapter 21 of the Handbook about how to track -STABLE: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cutting-edge.html Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 26 The Paddocks Savill Way Marlow Tel: +44 1628 476614 Bucks., SL7 1TH UK To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
