Yes, thats what I mean. I didn't check the tags so I didn't get them
rigth. Even following RELENG_5_X doesn't mean things never gets broken.
The xl nic driver was broken in RELEASE_4_5 which meant I coudn't use
the net. :'( So its also a good idee to save a working source (/usr/src)
before updating to a new release. (But there's no gurantee you can
downgrade, i think) I never had any trouble with the other releases. Its
just a case of bad luck.

Those of us who updates there source usaly use cvs.
