I believe the typical way to upgrade is to cvsup the sources and do a buildworld. If you can't cvsup (small hard drive or whatever), you could delete your src tree (saving your kernel), use /sysinstall to grab kernel only source and do the old fashion compile method. NOTE: This is not usually recommended, but I have had to do it on occation. > I have read the stuff about upgrading in the release notes > but it is a bit > vague.
