Actually, I'm facing exactly the same problem now: I want to upgrade 6.2-RELEASE to something (8.0?) newer. Since I don't have spare machine for tests, I'm playing now with VirtualBox (hosted on Linux). I'd like to test upgrade using cvsup/buildworld. After I will success on virtualbox I'll perform the same path on real machine. -- Mikolaj Rydzewski
