You do not *have* to follow -stable. You *can* simply apply patches to release sources and rebuild. The problem is that you have begun to follow -stable, then abandoned that part way through the process, then attempted to follow -release + patch. You should not mix -release, -stable, -current portions at will [1]. Now that you have started the -stable process your best move would be either completely follow -stable [2], or *reinstall*, unpack release sources, then patch. [1] You can do -release [+ patches] and use -stable packages (at least *almost* always). [2] extract release sources WITHOUT patches, then cvs update to -stable, then rebuild kernal & userland, per normal instructions. -- Darrin Chandler | Phoenix BSD Users Group [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://bsd.phoenix.az.us/ http://www.stilyagin.com/ |
