Hi there, I'm wondering if the FreeBSD 6.2 Production Release ISO images get updated periodically when there are important patches, or is it better to download the latest snapshot to save the trouble of updating everything after installing? Patrick ___

When 6.0 was in BETA kernel had many options like WITNESS/INVARIANTS. User-land also has some special options. Those options made FreeBSD-BETA much slower. Are any similar options "on" now in 7.0-BETA2? What is the complete list? I can only find an option "makeoptions DEBUG=-g" in sys/i386/conf/
