Create a cvsup-file with *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_6_0 This will only give you important security fixes. If there are fixes, you can find them on the FreeBSD homepage, under SECURITY ADVISORIES. If a advisory has come out, use cvsup to update the sources, and rebuild your kernel and userland as documented at the end of /usr/src/UPDATING under the heading 'To rebuild everything and install it on the current system". Note; you have to be in /usr/src to build world+kernel. Roland -- R.F.Smith (http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/) Please send e-mail as plain text. public key: http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/pubkey.txt
