It worked, I was a little scared about the whold process but I sucessfully upgraded from 3.1 release to 3.2 stable. I now have three questions: 1- If I had originally installed ports under the 3.1 system, do I need to recompile them under 3.2? They seem to work fine so far. 2- How often is reasonable to upgrade to the latest version of stable? My main reason for upgrading is to ensure that our server is as solid as possible, and secondly, I do not want to wind up with a very old distribution that is difficult to upgrade. 3- When is it better to do a clean install rather than CVSup and make world? Please do not feel obliged to answer all three questions. Thanks.
