what ways exist to upgrade a remote server (to which you have no terminal
server attached) if the currently installed FREEBSD is too old for
freebsd-update? besides asking someone local to the server to help, i mean.
The Canonical Way of Auld(tm)* is detailed in the handbook.
It involves fetching the source code via cvsup/csup, and
rebuilding the kernel and world(userland), etc.
The entire process is covered in Chapter 24 of the handbook;
see http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/synching.html
for the beginning of the "old way" part.
