There is an upgrade procedure; you can grab a daily snap from current.freebsd.org and install it like any other upgrade. Or, you can upgrade by building from source; see http://www.nothing-going-on.demon.co.uk/FreeBSD/make-world/make-world.html. **WARNING:** Subscribe to the -current mailing list before upgrading to 3.0-CURRENT. There are probably gotchas, and asking questions about problems identified on -current is usually not well received. > If I cant upgrade it all, can I upgrade some parts? Not recommended. > I'd be very thankful for information about this. What do you need -current for?
