Can FreeBSD be upgraded from 3.4-stable to 4.0-current from source.  
When I installed -current on my testbed I got a number of sig 12's 
(SIGSYS), e.g. fix one, reiterate, fix the next one, etc., that I 
finally gave up and installed 4.0-current from snapshot.

The reason for asking is that I'm installing a console server in 
Vancouver, a 30 minute flight by helijet from Victoria.  My options are 
to install -stable and subsequently install 4.1 from source, negating 
the requirement to travel to Vancouver to perform the installation, or 
install from CDROM or FTP requiring console access.

Any thoughts?
