"Upgrading" from 5.4 to 6.1



Hi,

today I bought a new CPU and want to upgrade my hardware and software
on my desktop-machine. It's a Pentium II 400mhz setup and the new
CPU is an Athlon 1000 with an other mainboard and ddr-ram. Since
I don't have a CD-writer or a floppy-drive I don't see a posibility
to install freebsd 6.1 on the machine. Do you guys have any
suggestions? It's a running system with freebsd 5.4. Is there a
way to use sysinstall? I it shouldnt be a real upgrade, I've no
problem with reconfiguring the system, the only problem is that I
don't have freebsd 6.1 on any media. So how could I install it
from the internet?

Thank you, septi

.
