The documentation seems a bit confusing on this. Chapter 20 talks about how to update to either the current or stable versions. It also states that neither is as stable as the release version. So, if all I am interested in is upgrading to 4.3, and not so much interested in the less stable up to date versions, then shouldn't I be upgrading from my 4.2 release to 4.3 release? If so, then is the only way to do this to simply install 4.3 from scratch and thus erase all of my present config files and installed ports etc...? Chapter 20 does mention briefly that to go from release version to release version then one should "use the binary update mechanism". What is the binary mechanism and where is some documentation on it. A bit confused but ok :) Wayne __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
