Maybe this supercondensed "This is how to run stable" cookbook should be put into the FAQ? (If so, then I'd suggest that a symlink to the latest statically-linked nogui cvsup be put at ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/CVSup/cvsup.nogui-bin-current.tar.gz ...) -----Original Message----- From: Jason J.
