-release is just a snapshot of -stable. the only difference between 4.2-release and 4.2-stable is that the code in -stable is a little newer, but basically the same userland functions and features. the only differnces would be the commits to -stable since the -release... about 2 months worth of changes, as i recall. -Otter }-----Original Message----- }From: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG }[mailto:owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Bruce A.
