>Description:
During a binary install from 3.4 release to 4.0 release with sysinstall I choose to install kernel sources but then half way in the install the installer says they wont be installed because the kernel sources are already there but they get installed any. For the upgrade.txt it would be nice to say delete your src and ports dir if you plan on installing them during install so they dont get installed over but still leaving old files from 3.4 there.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install 3.4 do a binary install over it with 4.0
I did a existing partition binary install.
I did use the 4.0 install floppies.
