This does have me wondering about one thing, when 5.0 comes out as
RELEASE are we going to be able to do a "normal" upgrade, or are we
going to have to do a full install? Sounding like there are going to be
some pretty major changes in it.

So far I have only done one upgrade, that was from 4.6 to 4.7 and that
was just the binary upgrade, download the two floppies, boot, yada yada.
Next go round would like to try a source upgrade, but it sounds kind of
scary, though I do install all my software via the ports. (Mozilla takes
a looong time to build) So maybe it won't be that bad, but just a little
unsure about how you go about getting all the source needed.
