Will the 5.2 downloads be available tomorrow? I read 1 Nov is the release date for 5.2. I will be doing my first OpenBSD upgrade as i've only been using the OS for a few weeks now. Is it best to remove all packages prior to upgrade and then reinstall them or should we simply upgrade the packges using pkg_add -i once the upgrade has been completed? (Ihave read the documentation on the website, but just for clarity I thought i'd ask on list.) Jamie.
