Hi Kevin,
I have FreeBSD 5.2 running a slow PC for test purpose. Kindly advise;
1) What steps and commands shall I apply to update/upgrade it from
Internet. I am running 3M broadband.
2) Would it upgrade from source? I am a little bid nervous if it is.
Because it will take lenghthy time to complete. I have had bitter
experience in the past to upgrade a Gentoo box from Intenet
TIA
B.R.
