No, no, no. Don't you dare ! ;) Your answer was perfect. Long enough. It's not your fault that someone reads too fast.

I based on http://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade39.html There isn't any explicit sentence which says I can't do it. I guess I've misunderstood "Upgrading without install media". I thought it says it's not absolutely necessary to have install sets. I was hoping I can build them by 'make release'. "Hey, you can build it on your own just read FAQ 5 - Building the system from source" ;) No I know I was wrong, and I know _why_. My mistake. Thank you very much Nick for willing to explain, and for willing to give solutions. Last questions.

To OPENBSD_3_9_BASE ? People say they received CD's. The CD's were burned with frozen OPENBSD_3_9_BASE. Right ? So, how one should follow -stable if commits aren't in -stable ? > (hint: sendmail bug). Thanks for hint. It rings some bells, but poorly. I can't recall the details. What rel was then ? I can't find it on google. -- Regards Piotrek Kapczuk
