You will have to sync your source using cvsup(1) to the apropriate branch which I guess will be RELENG_5_3. General instructions on how to sync your source to the new release and how to recompile and reinstall your system are located in the FreeBSD Handbook at: <http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/cutting-edge.html>; and <http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/cvsup.html>. Some tips for updating your jails can be found at <http://subwiki.honeypot.net/cgi-bin/view/Freebsd/BuildAndUpdateJails>. You should definitely back up your entire system before updating. It's also probably advisable to disable all additionally installed software before booting the new version. There seem to have been a lot of changes which may break your current binaries. So after you upgrade the system, a portupgrade -fa may be in place. And be sure to have a look at /usr/src/UPDATING after syncing your source. I would break this all up into the following 1. backup 2. rebuild steps, including cvsup, buildworld etc 3. disable all ports and jails 4. install steps, including install{kernel,world} and mergemaster, reboot etc [see if it works] 5. jail updating steps ... Hope this helps, Martin -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFBGgj0kWEEBp53XEURAvprAJ47Zdari1N2GEMSrBvJ9SUrHYOL8ACaAgxU 6yJwQbJnN/TTSBrlwVefO+w= =D68r -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
