usually when I upgrade across major versions of BSD I wipe the whole machine and re--install from scratch. But I understand that the move to 6.0 from 5.4 is nowhere near such a big leap. So I was wondering hether I could just do this from source without any ill effects, as if I was upgrading 5.4->5.5. I have nnever tried this before though, and was wondering if there are any major pitfalls (i.e. is it actually a really bad idea?) cheers, -pcf.
