Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello All I have a 4.5 system thats been purring along fine for a long time now. I've installed quite a bit from the base 4.5 ports and packages collection but nothing from outside of them. I'm thinking of updating this box and just for yucks I grabbed the 4.6 ISOs. Several of my ports and packages could use an upgrade (ssh, wm's, other stuff). Should I use the 'Upgrade' option in the 4.6 install? Or CVSup? Do I really have any reason to upgrade? I mean, it just continues to run like a top ... ;-) Perhaps I should just learn how to update my source tree? Suggestions welcome. Thanks!
