Service Pack #1 is equivalent to version # XX.1, Service Pack #2 is equivalent to version # XX.2, and so on. The rule of thumb is to only implement the version when the NEXT version is released. For example, you implement version 2 on the date version 3 is released, you implement version 3 on the day version 4 is released, etc. It's pretty straightforward. :-) Ted Mittelstaedt tedm@toybox.placo.com Author of: The FreeBSD Corporate Networker's Guide Book website: http://www.freebsd-corp-net-guide.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
