Hi, I recently bought the FreeBSD 2.1.7 Book/CDROM from Walnut Creek
CDROM, and I was just wondering... How well does FreeBSD upgrade from
other versions? And how much time would it take to download, or do you
make a patch for versions? Thanks a lot...

Time to download depends on how fast your link is. Mine is pathetic, I usually start it late one night and it's done the next morning!
I've upgraded a couple of times, 2.1.6 to 2.1.7, fairly hassle free as long as you follow the directions. Doug White's got a pretty good set of instructions that I use, I'll send them to you. New versions are usually a complete replacement unless its just a bug fix. (as far as i know anyway).
Hope this helps
