I have 2.1.6, 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 sitting on the shelf per my Walnut Creed CD-ROM subscription and no time. I have two (multipart) questions: Can I go directly to the latest version or should I upgrade them in sequence? How do I do the upgrade? Do I follow the normal steps for installing from CD-ROM in the Installing and Running FreeBSD manual? I saw a tutorial on the net for upgrading from source code but I'm not sure if that's what I'm doing? Where can I get the instructions for upgrading to a later release? Your prompt response would be greatly appreciated! Thanks Matt Murphy
