Also a thought: since you're dealing with a production machine, would it be easier to build an updated duplicate and migrate information to the new machine? Then you have not left in the cold should something go wrong. You can then duplicate the process on the production machine and you have two up-to-date systems.

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.
