Just want to be sure that I do the right thing.

So, my version at present is 5.3-BETA1 and I want to install 5.3.
I supposed I could just install 5.3 over my current version, but wouldn't an upgrade work just as well?


Finally, want to make sure I have the procedure right:

    go to: /usr/local/etc/cvsup
    issue the following command: /usr/local/bin/cvsup -g -L 2 stable-supfile
    once finished, then go to: /usr/src
    enter the commands:


make buildworld KERNCONF=yourkernelname (for name, look to config file found in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/)
make buildkernel KERNCONF=yourkernelname (look to / )
make installkernel KERNCONF=yourkernelname
reboot


    You should boot in single user mode (using boot -s from loader prompt for example). Then continue with:

mergemaster -p  
 go to /usr/src and type: make installworld
 mergemaster
 update /dev (for 4.x only)
 reboot
