That's exactly what "installing a snapshot" means, usually by using bsd.rd. > Can you please link me to manuals covering > the topics of keeping base of the system up to date > and in sync with kernel The kernel is a part of the base system. > and binary "snapshot" pigs? http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html#Flavors Basically, you upgrade the base system to a new snapshot when you feel you need that for security, bugfixing, functionality or testing reasons, then run sysmerge(8) and pkg_add -u after that.
