If you're already using 10.3-STABLE, that _is_ the currently supported stable release (advanced from -RELEASE). All you need to do here is to upgrade your source tree again, and then follow /usr/src/Makefile's comment header where the instructions for the upgrade process are stored. (I assume because you said "10.3 Stable" you're familiar with the meaning of RELEASE, STABLE, and CURRENT / HEAD.) If you want to go to FreeBSD 11, source update is possible too - just fetch the code for FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE and use that for installation. State where you want to go in order to obtain a more precise information. :-) Check the corresponding information for details: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/updating-upgrading.html from here: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/synching.html https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/makeworld.html as well as: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/updating-upgrading-freebsdupdate.html -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
