This is most likely not exactly what you are after, but: Earlier in the week I put a message to -stable asking how to upgrade a minimal install of a system that runs entirely from USB key. This key was running 6.2. Using a host build machine running 7.0, setting DESTDIR accordingly, and configuring numerous NO_* in /etc/make.conf, I was not only able to achieve my minimal install using buildworld etc process, I was able to upgrade it to stable sources from this morning successfully. I'm now off to upgrade a box that is actually _running_ 6.2, and I'll report back with any details. Steve
