I was getting ready to build world and I noticed (to my utmost suprise) that my system is running 5.4-PRERELEASE. I must have had the wrong tag in my supfile and downloaded the src for 5.4. So I am already running 5.4 I guess I will upgrade totaly. Are there any gotcha's I should now about. At this point I think I am running 5.4 kernel with 5.3 binaries. So should I just to a CVSup with the 5.4 tag and then use the instructions below from Pat?
