For future reference, you should send questions to freebsd-questions. This list is for new users to discuss their experiences.

There are huge improvements that you'll want to take advantage of, including in the softupdates code. Your best chance of success is to back up your important data, do a fresh install of 4.5-release (which lets you turn on softupdates on install) and go from there. You might also consider checking out http://snapshots.jp.freebsd.org/ for a more recent -stable snapshot. Good luck. -- "We have known freedom's price. We have shown freedom's power.
