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.
