I followed the usual upgrade instructions provided above. Everything built and installed smoothly. Before: %uname -rims FreeBSD 6.3-PRERELEASE i386 GENERIC After: %uname -rims FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE i386 GENERIC So all seems well. I won't mention ports here, I am just concerned with kernel and world for now. That said...

There is nothing wrong with obtaining the source code of 7.X and doing a full recompile to upgrade your version sanely.

AFIK, that was 4.x -> 5/6 OR Ports, which are bound to be a problem across major versions.* Also, 8.x has a recent change which prevents easy upgrading from early versions of 5/6(/7?).
