So if l do a fresh install of IPSO 3.5FCS10, l would have the 1 gig swap space, and l would also install FW-1 4.1 SP6 so l can then migrate my conf dir from the running firewall and then do an upgrade to IPSO 3.7 and NG FP3.
Via this method, would l avoid the upgrade issues? or is the clean install method the only way to go?
l would like to go to NG R54 with AI, but l also have the feeling it would will be to big a jump from 4.1 for now, and will be happy with NG3.
Our traffic is 95% HTTP, with a bit of VPN and FTP thrown in for good measure.

You are talking about two things NG FP3 and AI are two different things, AI can be seen in fact as FP4. I have customers running a HA pair of IP440 with NG FP3 HFA-320 ... They run just fine, I just had to scratch install them, not upgrade them, because they were installed a the time IPSO did create a swap partition of 256 Mb, which is not enough anymore ... As from IPSO 3.4 (if I re-call) a scratch installation creates a swap of 1 Gb, but an upgrade leaves the swap at 256 Mb. We didn't migrate them to AI because we had already a lot of problems to migrate them to NG, now they are 'stable' and will leave them as such ... Till they migrate from IP440 to a newer box type (probably IP380).
But the load on your boxes might be different from theirs ...
