There's more on this on http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html#Flavors To summarize: what's on the CD's and FTP-servers is -release, it is not updated. The patches for -stable are only distributed as source code. There are no official builds of the -stable tree. About a year ago I started to create regular builds of the -stable trees (the two supported trees). You can use them, if you trust me ;-) You can find links to some mirrors on http://www.z74.net/openbsd.html Maurice
