This is a big update. 1) Back up everything. 2) Any ports you have installed wll probably fail unless you have the pesence of mind to copy the libraries into aout/ directories. I would suggest rebuilding those ports/packages once you complete the upgrade anyway. 3) Do a binary upgrade. 4) PLEASE PLEASE read the 3.2 ERRATA at http://www.freebsd.org/releases/3.2R/errata.html !!
