I have used sysinstall and played around with the "upgrade" potion of the menu. I have configured, built and installed the kernel a few times. Ok, got that, but how do I upgrade? I am probably missing the point, but do I have to CVSUP, sysinstall/upgrade, AND build-install the kernel? I looked at "makeworld" in the handbook but it read like the instructions to building a house! Surely it's not a complicated as it looks? Anyway, suggestions, links etc all gratefully received.
