Thanks Giorgos!!!  I really appreciate your response.

>1. Read the Handbook [upgrading from the source].

I found the Handbook:
http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/

but I can't find the upgrading from the source section.  Could you
please point me in the right direction?

>2. CVSup sources to RELENG_4_4 [security branch of 4.4-RELEASE version].

I found CVSup:
http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html &
http://www.Google.com/search?q=3Dfreebsd+cvsup

Is this the procedure to upgrade sources?
http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/synching.html
This seems a bit amorphous to me.  Can you provide me with more detail?

>3. Build and install new version.
Is there a link for this procedure?

Many thanks again!
