Hi all,

I mentioned I'd report back. I followed the usual upgrade instructions 
provided above. Everything built and installed smoothly.

Before:
%uname -rims
FreeBSD 6.3-PRERELEASE i386 GENERIC

After:
%uname -rims
FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE i386 GENERIC

So all seems well. I won't mention ports here, I am just concerned with 
kernel and world for now.

That said... YMMV, #include <disclaimer.h>, etc

Regards,
Adam J Richardson
