It is a special snapshot that has things frozen and tested in place to make sure they all work together at that level - sort of a barrier condition. Daily snapshots do not have that barrier condition, but are merely a dump of the source files as they are at the moment. "We're all bozos on this bus." Sorry you still seem to be missing the bus. ////jerry > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
