I just noticed the description in the man page for freebsd-update: ..."Note that updates are only available if they are being built for the FreeBSD release and architecture being used; in particular, the FreeBSD Security Team only builds updates for releases shipped in binary form by the FreeBSD Release Engineering Team, e.g., FreeBSD 6.1- RELEASE and FreeBSD 6.2-RC1, but not FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE or FreeBSD 7.0- CURRENT." Is this saying that I can't get a binary upgrade for 6.4-STABLE? (You would not believe how long the make world process takes on a Pentium 200!!)
