Hmmm, I can understand the build/install portion but will it boot since one machine is -CURRENT from 3/99 and the other is 3.3-RELEASE. Are you still running current, Vince? I thought we established over a year a go that -current was *not* for you since you don't take the requisite time

I think a lot of the people who run older versions of -current, and upgrade sporadically, have done so because there are particular things missing out of -STABLE that they need (or want). Which is a fair point, and hopefully we'll be branching 4.0 sooner this time so the wait is not so long.
