 If you've CVS-up'd down the source for 4_5_0 be sure to read over
/src/UPDATING as there were changes to sendmail (the addition of the
mailman user for instance)

 There are lots of other very good changes to the OS from 4.0 to 4.5

 Watch for the changes to the PAM support
 Watch for the changes to the ed driver (if you use it)

 As far as what steps you should take to build the kernel and world, I
have assembled the steps and put them online here:

http://scaryg.shacknet.nu/faq.php?topic=2

 I've been following those directions since 4.0 (I upgraded to 4.1, 4.2,
4.3, 4.4)

 It's an accumulation of steps hashed about on this list and they should
work just perfect ;-)
