    Hi,

    just a question for a doubt I have:I updated the src tree via cvsup using
    the file included below.According to some BSD literature (not found in the handbook),
    by using the 'RELENG_4' tag in the supfile, I will get the source tree for the latest
    -STABLE branch, and that is what I wanted.I CVSuped,the I recompiled the source tree
    and the kernel,according to the FreeBSD Handbook instructions.
    All went OK.This is the output from the 'uname -a' command after the process:

    FreeBSD ciao.singles.it 4.9-RC FreeBSD 4.9-RC #0: Wed Oct 15 00:12:26 CEST 2003 root@:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/CURRENT_WINE i386

    I have two questions:
    1)looking at the output of 'uname', is this a STABLE version of FreeBSD (as I would expect) ?
    2)if I wanted, for example, 4.5 stable, or instead 4.3 stable, which options should I put in the supfile ?

    Thank you very much.
    Bruno
