I thnk around an hour and a half to cvsup from 3.4 to 4.0.. So on a 56k modem I would say.... Ouch! I'm not sure if it's possible to save the old source tree, I guess you could.. We did an interesting (but risky) thing when we messed up the vinum partitions. We tar'd up the entire OS on to a tape, re-partitioned/formatted/installed from the 3.4 CD and then untar'd the 4.0 stuff from the tape, it was such a hack but hey, after being up for 36 hours you'll try crazy stuff like that... Get this --- it worked!
