I installed FreeBSD 4.5-RC1 through ftp, and didn't install the source
code of the kernel at that time. Now when I want to build a customized
kernel, and use /stand/sysinstall to install the sys source, it said
that the 4.5-RC1 cannot be found on the ftp web site. If I use
4.5-RELEASE instead, what problems might happen?

Thanks.

I don't think you'll have too much trouble with a RELEASE kernel on an RC OS,
but I'd suggest you just cvsup -STABLE and build the world -- it takes a bit
longer, but it's 'safer' in the long run. Always nice to keep the kernel and
the rest of the system 'in sync'.

yeah, just cvsup as RELENG_4 and then rebuild your world and kernel, and you
will be fine.

Actually, RELENG_4_5 will do too.
