    Hi all,

    I have been working with FreeBSD for about a month now, and it is my first
    foray into the BSD/UNIX/Linux world. I have a question about upgrading. I
    have tried several different ways to go about upgrading, and still can't
    seem to get the desired results. I started out with a 4.8 install from
    ftp.freebsd.org. My end goal is to build a FreeBSD firewall machine based
    on 4.8-STABLE. When I put RELENG_4_8 in my supfile,
    download/recompile/etc., uname -a still shows the version at 4.8-RELEASE.
    When I cvsup with RELENG_4 in my supfile, I got upgraded to 4.10-STABLE. Is
    there any way to upgrade just to 4.8-STABLE? Am I going about this the
    wrong way?

    Thank you all so much,
