Subject: upgrading FreeBSD problem

A few days ago I upgraded a FreeBSD system to 4 stable. I used the
supfile in /usr/share/example/cvsup/stable-supfile ( I think that's
right).
What I ended up with was 4.9 prerelease Why I got 4.9 I have no idea. I
thought 4.8 was stable.
Yesterday I tried to add software using /stand/sysinstall. I couldn't do
it because none of the FTP sites had the ports for 4.9. I was forced to
go into /usr/ports. This works but I was hoping to use the
/stand/sysinstall tools.
My recommendation is to edit the supfile to upgrade to 4.8. Don't go to
4.9. It's not ready for use.
