Hi,
I am using FreeBSD 5.2 on my local computer.
I want to upgrade to FreeBSD 6.0
Do i need to download both files ?

No. CD1 will give you as much as the OS plus X11 plus all sources. 
Plus

the complete ports tree as of 6.0-RELEASE.
CD2 contains several hundred binary packages, but are not required 
for the

OS upgrade.

I've always wondered this.  I'm running 5.1.  Can I upgrade to 6.x in 
place, i.e. without having to full install and wipe my filesystem etc?
If so, how do I do that?  I couldn't find anything in the Handbook or 
anywhere that says one can do this.
