Patched vs Stable install images/iso
It looks like NetBSD is developing numerous versions of install images.
From README Quote:
eg: 'NetBSD-6.0_STABLE-amd64.iso' while netbsd-6-0 denotes the images as 'NetBSD-6.0.1_PATCH-amd64.iso' I am assuming the 4.0 is a typo. It seems these are backwards. If I wanted to try NetBSD 6.0 with security/critical fixes I would assume this to be stable. If I wanted new features the PATCH connotation seems more appropriate. But then again, I thought stable in FreeBSD meant "stable" Any NetBSD guru's have any insight? |

I am by no means a NetBSD guru, and in stead of first trying to explain it, I would rather pass you a link to an official document that explains it very well:

@sOxxx
Thanks. I looked for an explanation in the installation documents. A section on how to choose an installation image early in the handbook would be useful. |
