(maybe this is also the way the freesbie system is turned into a 5.3- STABLE? if so, just checkout the 5.4 sources instead of the 5.3 sources, rebuild the kernel as well as the base system and then just follow the rest of the instructions for turning freesbie into 5.3- STABLE. BUT it won't hurt to be safe and do it in two steps if you're unsure. the worst thing that can happen is that you become more familiar with system upgrading :) ) greetz, jonas
