This is probably just a case of trying to do something too complicated
too early in the morning, but here goes...
Right now, I am running 2.1.5 RELEASE. I would like to upgrade to
2.2...I have searched through the handbook and can't determine whether I
should use CTM or CVSup to get what I need (I'm not interested in
upgrading ports right now - everything else, though). The description of
CTM made it sound like it could only be used for getting the latest
current release...I guess I'm a little confused as to the status of
2.2...thought 3.0 was current.
At any rate, I would appreciate any suggestions. I'm only on a 33.6 dial
up connection, so speed is important (especially since my @*#! provider
tends to impose 4 hr time limits)
thanks!
