Hi Khetan. I upgraded to 2.1-stable about 3 weeks ago, in order to
stabilize my shiny new Adaptec 2842 SCSI adapter. Since then, I've
supped -stable each friday night.
The first sup took quite a while, nearly 6 hours, but since then, each
successive weekly sup has only taken 10 - 15 minutes. I've not had
any problems with the supped source files since I figured out what to
do with the first one. I've provided another FreeBSDer (hi Annelise)
through this recently, and she was meticulous enough to take notes of
her experience and e-mail them to me. If you'd like, I'll forward
them on to you. The idea is that I'll develope them and my notes into
more detailed instructions about "how to upgrade to -stable the very
first time."

Reply to this message if you'd like the notes I've gathered. They're
certainly not ready to publish yet, but you're welcome to what I've
got.
