-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Sure, you can upgrate it. There are few ways, with CVSup, you can recompile the whole source/ports/docs trees. But, it seems to be more complicated than with Debian. First, to use CVSup, you can easily handle synching your source with CVSupIT (/usr/ports/net/cvsupit). Just "make install" it. Then, maybe it will show up a dialog after it's installed (maybe). Then, you have to go in /usr/src and type: make buildworld; make installworld. Then, just recompile the kernel. For more precise informations, just look at the following link.

In debian, you can always have the latest release just by doing this so you won't have to be stuck with an older version and thus, save money,time, etc in the "upgrade". I have waded in some of the freeBSD documentation and I came across "uprading via the CVS repository"...hmmm... > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3ia Charset: noconv iQCVAwUBOnOM9hcIKY4ZDBRpAQEirAQAmyh9OI/+sWCh0vkLSWh/0sEkiykyNEBn 9a9DqBHYTGt7iFkkXmZ09sQiHH6sTq6bfMxza10yXH4poWFfurMORYS2lwtirgQy QEE8a7lcnjEJzFvBMU09DX3YFYk2OVzHJDhlftQZncDWNcnAg8aoaJqMaEM4mXQS SJ4x6r7B0Rk= =A7YL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
