I've upgraded quite a few machines from 4.x to 5.x, all without any =20 problems. The best 'how-to' I know of is in /usr/src/UPDATING Update your sources via cvsup to RELENG_5_4 and search in /usr/src/=20 UPDATING for "To upgrade in-place from 4.x-stable to current". On one of my 5.4-p1 systems, the relevant instructions start on line =20 1868. Take care, Ken Ebling
