Right, just to 4-STABLE for now.  After this I want to then try to 
upgrade to 5.x.  Let's see how this goes first.

Thanks!

BTW!  After updating to 4-STABLE do I then perform all the following 
steps?

Go to /usr/src
enter the command: make buildworld KERNCONF=yourkernelname
then: make kernel
reboot
go to /usr/src and type: make installworld

And what is a good kernel name?  Maybe in this case, kernel.STABLE ?
