I have a question: one can use cvsup to download latest source code and then compile to upgrade the freebsd version. one can use /stand/sysinstall change the options to have the next release and tell it to download binaries/source/whatever distributions. So my questions is, what are the disadvantages and advantages of one method over the other that i might be missing? well i have one for each of the method already figured out: 1) cvsup download only changes to source, not the complete source right? 2) /stand/sysinstall does not require make world (very time consuming). any others?
