That is, I am going to create an "experimental" FreeBSD partition, install (ie practically clone) my 3.3-Release on it, and then CVSup and upgrade to 4.0 **for the fun of it**. My "production" partition will most probably be upgraded ... via the CDs ;-)) I hope this will help. N.B. my_fake_antispam_domain =3D=3D=3D> neomedia.it to e-mail to me.
