 If I specify the parameter of tag as RELENG_4, then does cvsup
 only fetch the latest source code of my current system version?

Well, RELENG_4 a.k.a. FreeBSD 4-stable is FreeBSD 4.11 (the latest
release) + security fixes + bug fixes or small backports from the
-current branch, although this is not very likely for FreeBSD 4 anymore.

RELENG_4_11 on the other and the security branch of FreeBSD 4.11 +
security fixes.

If you want to run FreeBSD 4 on your machine, I'd recommend any of the
two above branches (since FreeBSD 5 is the new stable branch, RELENG_4 and
RELENG_4_11 won't differ a lot).

HTH,
 Simon

 Hi all ! 
 The version of my current system is 4.7, and I want to upgrade the system to

 alternatives among severval stable versions. But how can I specify the right 
 version which I want the system upgraded to?
 If I want my fb upgraded to 4.10, what can I do?

put this to your supfile:
*default tag=RELENG_4_10

then run
# cvsup supfile


 As far as I know, the handbook does not mention things like this. So I turn 
 to you guys for help.
  
 Thanks

The handbook elaborates quite verbosely on this:
