I want to get 4.7-RELEASE-p28.
I don't know what mean RELEASE-p28...
FreeBSD ftp-archive containes is only 4.7-RELEASE version.
What I must to do or where I can find the answer on this question?

thank for the help
 
This is very old release of FreeBSD. p28 mean that there is 28 incorporated security patches in that specific installation. You need to download 4.7 release iso,install it, then sync the latest for that branch source code follow the instructions in /usr/src/UPDATING and handbook of course. But share with us why you need such an old release?

Any new security issue will not be fixed.

thx for the reply :)
 
Do not put this system on the Internet. A version that old will have several remotely exploitable security issues, and there are likely dozens of ports that cannot be installed on it anymore.
 
And if you do decide to put it on the Internet, please mail your IP address to the Spamhaus people.
