Yes, thats what I mean. I didn't check the tags so I didn't get them rigth. Even following RELENG_5_X doesn't mean things never gets broken. The xl nic driver was broken in RELEASE_4_5 which meant I coudn't use the net. :'( So its also a good idee to save a working source (/usr/src) before updating to a new release. (But there's no gurantee you can downgrade, i think) I never had any trouble with the other releases. Its just a case of bad luck. > In cvsup-supfile speak for those of us using cvsup to sync our source trees Those of us who updates there source usaly use cvs. -- Alex Please copy the original recipients, otherwise I may not read your reply.
