Hi,


   I just download the last snapshots available on ftp.openbsd.org.

 Because my new and shiny CDs not arrive yet to Costa Rica and i

can't wait to install 4.2 . I was reading the faq on the OpenBSD web:


"-Current is where active development work is done, and eventually, it

will turn into the next -release of OpenBSD. Every six months, when a

new version of OpenBSD is released, -current is tagged, and becomes

-release: a frozen point in the history of the source tree."


"-Stable is based on -release ..... -stable is also known as the "patch

branch.""


"Upgrading is the process of installing a newer version of OpenBSD"


So...i have a question here: is it possible install 4.2 from snapshots,

then "upgrade" to "release" (a frozen point...) and then goes to "stable"???


Regards,


       Alvaro
