Yes, this is possible. You can have your own branches in the local copy of the FreeBSD source tree. This allows you to merge in -current changes into your branch, etc. I don't know the details of how to do it though.. I think you just do a checkin/branch or whatever, and it just works (ie, won't get overwritten).. can someone confirm this? -Archie ___________________________________________________________________________ Archie Cobbs * Whistle Communications, Inc. * http://www.whistle.com
