[Vahric MUHTARYAN]

Thank I think I will use your method :)) and you method is everyones methode
.... :)))))
Some body said that binary-updates pre-compiled and not compiled for you
system because of this maybe slow down problem can occur

and one more question I'm linux admin I can say more Redhat Admin :) We have
Redhat 7.2 , 7.3 , 8.0 and 9.0 server but I did not think to update or
promode any server  to new version  Do you alwyas update freebsd's when new
stable version released  ? like 4.9 to 5.2
