For anyone who'd like to know, I was able to successfully upgrade to 4.0-RELEASE by downloading the source tarballs, and unpacking them in my /usr/src directory. I cleared it out of the old 3.4 sources beforehand, and found that you must first compile a 4.0 kernel and reboot before attempting a make world. After you reboot, you can drop in to single-user (for safety), and run yoyur make world. Since it only installs the new gcc at the end, you may want to re-make world a second time, or simply make and install gcc, etc. first. --cokane Kris Kennaway had the audacity to say: > You should have read the UPDATING file before attempting this.
