OK, read it again. I went to the ftp site to study the branches again. I hope this is correct. There is a FreeBSD-stable which is linked to 4.0-STABLE directory. If I was going to do an install of freebsd and wanted to run the stable os from the gate out, (I will follow your recommendation though)can I use the FreeBSD-stable as my insall directory in the options? Or will I use 4.0-STABLE? Which one will the installation be looking for. For now I use 4.2-RELEASE so what will it be in my scenerio?

When I perform a cvs I put in RELENG_4, is this the -STABLE branch? Is this the correct tag to use. Is this what you consider -STABLE?
