You still haven't got it. This is what the FAQ states: -release: The version of OpenBSD shipped every six months on CD. -stable: Release, plus patches considered critical to security and reliability. -stable is not moving. It's just -release plus the errata from http://www.openbsd.org/errata40.html as stated in he FAQ. Get the sources from your CDs or from the FTP servers. Then apply the errata and you'll have -stable. It's as easy as that. If you're unable to grasp the concept you should buy a good book on OpenBSD and/or try a little harder to understand what you read in the FAQ. There's a book section on the OpenBSD website that names some good books on OpenBSD. Did you check www.openbsd101.com? Seemingly you didn't, otherwise you wouldn't have asked this latest question of yours. regards, Tobias W.
