You'll do at least the basic kernel / buildworld / installworld thing, so installing 3.3-RELEASE and cvsup'ing to the latest 3.4-STABLE sources shouldn't take long. I've done it at least twice. Once for fun, and the other time because I trashed my installation while playing with that evil M$-thing called Windows '98. Having done the thing (from 3.3-RELEASE => 3.4-STABLE) I can assure you it won't take long. At least the source update part. The compilation of the `world' depends on your specific hardware setup, and I don't know how long it will take--not until I've seen it done at least once. -- Giorgos Keramidas, < keramida @ ceid . upatras . gr > For my public PGP key: finger keramida@diogenis.ceid.upatras.gr PGP fingerprint, phone and address in the headers of this message.
