If you want to use packages I would suggest
I am trying pkg_upgrade.
Make sure PACKAGEROOT is properly set (typically to
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8-stable/Latest
or *amd64* respectively) and your ports tree is up
to date. You can then use portmaster with its -P and -PP
options and do a full upgrade as desc

Hi all,
I recently started taking BSD more seriously, and I'm coming from using
Windows first, then, trying to learn DOS, and seeing there was no point
outside of a hobby, and, Linux and BSD at very similar points in time,
however, I always seemed to stick with Linux a little more.

The binary upgrade started from the 6.0-RELEASE CD-ROM didn't work, but
using 6.1-RELEASE floppies was successful. I peaked at the debug screen

portupgrade... which I'd like to avoid because I don't want to install
ruby as well.
