Operating System: FreeBSD X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL54 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Go to www.freebsd.org and see if you can find a link to a few packages that allow you to use the ports from STABLE. I believe they are called upgrade kits. After doing that you should be able to grab the latest distfiles and install as usual. One word of advice, once the upgrade kit has been installed it is on there for good and cannot be removed by pkg_delete(at least if was this way on my 3.2 RELEASE system).
