Dear Giorgios Keramidas,

probably, you might want to have a look at http://www.polstra.com and
at its CVSup documentation (FAQ etc.); in particular, you might want
to have a look at the tutorial on "make world" found at
http://www.nothing-going-on.demon.co.uk/FreeBSD/make-world : grab all
you feel like doing from this directory ;-))

I am reading this stuff because I am going to do a "trial" upgrade in
a while. That is, I am going to create an "experimental" FreeBSD
partition, install (ie practically clone) my 3.3-Release on it, and
then CVSup and upgrade to 4.0 **for the fun of it**.

My "production" partition will most probably be upgraded ... via the
CDs ;-))

I hope this will help.

N.B. my_fake_antispam_domain =3D=3D=3D> neomedia.it to e-mail to me.

Best regards from Sicily,
Salvo
