I could not find any packages available for 4.5 version at freebsd ftp site. So i decided to upgrade it to FreeBSD 4.8-Release. Can i upgrade the server without any change in its current configuration. There are always changes to the configuration files in /etc as part of the ongoing development of FreeBSD. One of the upgrade steps is to run the mergemaster utility, which lets you merge in these changes into your existing configuration files. Please read the associated documentation, and remember to make a full backup before attempting any upgrades.
