I don't know a good howto but I did a source upgrade from 4.11 to 5.3 a while back. I ran into a few issues (due to laziness on my part): Some changes in kernel config files for building custom kernel. Some changes in /etc (especially rc.conf). I wound up installing a fresh /etc and then manually adding my changes. Significant changes to the disk sub-system. I'm using vinum for disk mirroring. If you are using vinum, read up on gvinum carefully. I migrated too soon. Should have waited for 5.4. 5.4 is much better than 5.3. -- Ean Kingston E-Mail: ean AT hedron DOT org URL: http://www.hedron.org/ I am currently looking for work.
