Or that is too > aggressive, so I need to do 9.3 -> 10.3, then 10.3 -> 11.0?? You will need an intermediate step via 10.3 -- there is a problem compiling 11.0 on earlier than 10.3 release. This is quite an unusual circumstance -- although the requirement is that you should be able to upgrade to (X+1).0 from the last X.Y, most of the time in the past you could upgrade from pretty much any FreeBSD to the latest. > I guess there is so much danger lurking in 9.3-STABLE -> 11.0-STABLE us= ing > source upgrade, but not 9.3-RELEASE -> 11.0-RELEASE using freebsd-updat= e. Even if you use freebsd-update, you will need to go via an intermediate 10.3-RELEASE step. However, this is for different reasons -- there were changes to freebsd-update itself, which are in 10.3 and are needed to get to 11.0.
