Hi David,

Welcome to FreeBSD ;-)

The charter for this group precludes anwsering technical questions.
Technical issues should be directed to freebsd-questions.  Many of
the experienced users don't read this list and they can provide the
best answers.  We don't want to be newbies leading newbies here.

That being said, I'd like to point you to the Handbook section
on updating:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html

Follow the instructions there and if there is anything that is
not clear or you have questions about, just email
freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org .  I'm sure you'll find people
willing to help.

Best regards,

Randy
