Installing -current

Hi, What is the easiest way to install FreeBSD-current? Do I have to install a 3.x release and then cvsup to the -current followed by a make world? Before I ran into trouble I want to ask if 4.0 supports the 3CCFE574BT NIC? (3com 3c574). Right now I'm running this NIC with FreeBSD3.3+PAO on a T

IPFW / IP Filter question

A quick question, is it possible to copy all traffic coming into a particular interface to a divert socket, while still having the traffic also running normally and taking normal routes etc. I would have thought you would use the tee option in ipfw for this, but its not implemented yet according
