Hi, The reason I expected p6 was because freebsd-update said this: The following files will be updated as part of updating to 10.0-RELEASE-p6: /bin/freebsd-version /boot/kernel/kernel [...] so why does it say it's going to upgrade to p6 and the resulting upgrade is p4? Why didn't it say p4? (remember it was at p5 to begin with. I usually use svn to upgrade) thanks, -- John
