There are some caveats with the new code and what it does to the flash, but
there is no reason to upgrade incrementally. Upgrading a PIX does not patch
the code like service packing an MS box. It will actually replace the
current OS with the new one. Just be sure to run a "sh ver" and write down
the activation key. You can use this again when the need arises.

upgrading to 5.3 without stepping up incrementally and just going directly
from 4.4 to 5.3. I don't see anywhere in the Cisco documentation where they
advise against this, but I seem to remember several threads here advising to
go up one version at a time. Any thoughts??
