Hi,

I am quite new to FreeBSD, coming from Linux I have a few questions.
I would like to keep track of the FreeBSD 3.3 Stable branch via CTM.
As I am not sure if I setup my system correctly to fullfill the requirements, 
here is briefly what I did. I just would like to be sure before applying deltas:

 1. Downloaded and installed 3.3 from: 
    .../FreeBSD/releases/i386/3.3-STABLE/bin
 
 2. Downloaded the sources (.../srcbin). Did "make world"

 3. Downloaded ports.tgz (Symbolic link to ports-current)

 4. Downloaded Base Delta from .../FreeBSD/CTM/src-3/src-3.0200xEmpty.gz
    and corresponding Deltas.
    Subscribed to the corresponding Mailing lists.

Questions:
a. Are these the Deltas corresponding to 3.3-Stable? 

b. Dmesg shows:
		The Regents of the University of California. All rights reserved.
  		FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE #0: Fri Sep 24 09:43:40 CEST 1999
   
Is this not 3.3-STABLE?

c. In the Mailing-List index there is a group called ctm-src-3-fast (therie is
   also one called ctm-src-cur-fast). What is it for?

I would be very glad to receive any hint in which direction I should start.
Thanks in advance.

Bye
Alex
