That won't work. The freebsd-update program is used to track RELEASE (including the security patches) in a binary way, bringing you from 8.1-RELESE to 8.1-RELESE-p1 to 8.1-RELESE-p2 and so on. STABLE is not supported by freebsd-update. If you want to track STABLE, you need to compile stuff yourself from sources updated via cvsup or csup (see instructions in the FreeBSD handbook and additionally /usr/src/Makefile). -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
