I would go right to 4.11 using cvsup.
If you want to go from 4.11 to 5.4, you may be better off taking the drive=
=20
and doing a binary upgrade, as anything that may go wrong may require you=
=20
to be at the console. I recently cvsup'd a server from 4.11 to 5.4 and it=
=20
went ok, but I did need to access the console during the process.
If you end up doing the upgrade to 5.4, you may as well go to 6.0 while you=
=20
are at it.
