Not sure about PCBSD as I haven't used it, but with regular FreeBSD I believe you can by selecting the appropriate package distribution group. Been a while since I've done an install, but even so the source will be the static RELEASE bits and not contain any security updates. > 2.

Then do: svn checkout svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/releng/9.1 /usr/src Once having checked out you can then issue a svn update /usr/src command to pull in security updates as they become available over time. There are also two US mirrors available such as: svn checkout svn://svn0.us-east.freebsd.org/base/releng/9.1 /usr/src svn checkout svn://svn0.us-west.freebsd.org/base/releng/9.1 /usr/src I have used the us-east one. There is also a project underway to add in to base an 'svnup', similar in scope to how csup replaced cvsup to make it easier in the future. I believe freebsd-update is also a possibility but I have no experience with it. At any rate, more details can be found in the Handbook. -Mike _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
