Is it possible to cleanly upgrade from 2.2.5-STABLE to 3.0-CURRENT by just downloading the ftp.freebsd.org:/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/sys and write it over the current kernel code, and just recompile? I'd like some input, since I'd like to be able to use the other processor. Also, I have a copy of BSD/OS 3.1, and I was wondering if anybody had any ideas as in the way of benefits of FreeBSD of BSD/OS. (Please do NOT send flames or bring $$$ in the picture) :> Thanks!
