I've got a pretty old freebsd install based on, I think, release 3.2. I
want to upgrade it to 4.4. I've tried cvsup'ing the source for both 3.5.1
and 4.4 but I can't run make buildworld (errors about strlcpy). So I want
to try a binary upgrade.  

All the stuff I see about binary packages are ports, which I understand do
not include the base system. Under
ftp.freebsd.org/pub/releases/4.4-release

there is a directory for packages -- under which lots of categories
directory (games, crypto, etc) -- what stuff do I need for the base
system, or is this only programs on top of the base (I need to get the new
libraries and all that jazz first and at the same time, right?) -- after I
get the base system packages and then just run pkg_add * in my download
directory?



Thanks,

Ben
