I am not following anything - just installed OpenBSD 4.0 from a CD. What should
I follow, then?

In other operating system the concept of upgrading is straightforward - Windows
ask you and you press OK, in Gentoo Linux you type a magic sequence of magic
commands and your system is up to date.  But in OpenBSD it seems that the
versions are not a sequence, but a tree with a lot of one way streets and
that's what confuses me.
