I want/need to update a 6.0-RELEASE system. However, this system has some critical data on it and I'd rather not move to code that is perhaps experimental or "bleeding-edge" technology. I see in /usr/share/examples/cvsup several supfiles named various things. I see from the handbook that standard-supfile applies to, what seems like, the bleeding-edge and the stable-supfile is what I'm looking for .. yes? How do I ensure I update the sources to the most current, STABLE, branch? Andy
