Subject:   Upgrade 3.2 -> 4.x easy?

I have a server running FreeBSD 3.2
I would like to upgrade to 4.1 or 4.2 (I have the CD set for 
4.1 at hand)

Will using the /stand/sysinstall upgrade be fairly 
painless or should I plan to nuke the whole thing and start again?

The shorter the "downtime" required the better.

Any advice on such an upgrade would be much appreciated. Last time I
migrated (2.2.5 -> 3.2) it was at the same time as I installed new
server hardware so I simply installed the new OS in the new PC and re-created
the user accounts.

The server is primarily an intranet web/email server. :-)
