freebsd-update is another matter though. Base system security

I just noticed the description in the man page for freebsd-update:
..."Note that updates are only available if they are being built for
the FreeBSD release and architecture being used; in particular, the
FreeBSD Security Team only builds updates for releases shipped in
binary form by the FreeBSD Release Engineering Team, e.g., FreeBSD
6.1-RELEASE and FreeBSD 6.2-RC1, but not FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE or FreeBSD
7.0-CURRENT."
Is this saying that I can't get a binary upgrade for 6.4-STABLE?
(You would not believe how long the make world process takes on a
Pentium 200!!)
Not that it's going to help a tremendous amount but a
make -j 2 buildworld
may help a bit. There's also some tips on the handbook page for
speeding up the process. It would still be a long wait even if you used
every optimization technique available.
IIRC 2 jobs per core is the optimum level, and building system sources
is the only place I've had any with multiple jobs. Multiple jobs w/
gmake under FBSD is basically worthless in my experience and even with
BSD make's -B flag results not good.
