If you just want to follow -current, you just install either a release or a snapshots and then build the -current source. Thats it, you are -current, you only need bsd.rd if thats your initial install method, and you certainly dont need to make your own. Also note that you can just use binary snapshots and not ever build any source, *but* strictly speaking that is not -current, as extra experimental patches go into snaps. Hope this helps. -- Best Regards Edd http://students.dec.bournemouth.ac.uk/ebarrett
