Yes. 4.2-BETA is just a symbolic name for 4.1.1-STABLE before 4.2-RELEASE. It is intended to be a pre-RC1, and for the most part its only purpose is to test ports to make sure nothing has a dumb configure script (i.e. where it thinks 4.2 is not a valid FreeBSD version or something). The moral of the story is: don't trust naming schemes much, understand the purpose of the branch. -- wca To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
