Hello.  New to FreeBSD, some experience from Linux and
stone-age UNIX.

I'm using a single-CD 4.2 release on a PII notebook with lots of memory,
and connect  to the internet over the phone line -- expensive!

Which would be the sensible way to upgrade (and keep upgrading)
to the most recent Stable, perhaps with some components from
Release?

1.  Subscribe to releas CDs (At BSD Mall).  If I understand right, the
     present Stable will shortly be frozen as Release 4.3.

2.  Subscribe to the Toolkit CDs.  They do contain Stable
     and Current, right?

3.  Subscribe to both -- are the releases staggered?

Any help appreciated.
