If this is how you feel, than (in this particular case) you can
compare OpenBSD to Gentoo Linux. You type a magic sequence of magic
commands and your system is up to date. The secret incantation is :
sudo -s
cd /usr
export [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs
export VERS=OPENBSD_`uname -r | tr '.' '_'`
cvs checkout -P -r${VERS} src
cd src/sys/arch/`uname -m`/conf
config GENERIC
cd ../compile/GENERIC
make clean
make depend
make
make install
reboot
And there you have it. All you need is the compiler install set
installed and sufficient space in /usr/src. If this magic sequence is
too long for you, feel free to copy/paste them into a shell-script and
execute that.
Please note, that I've typed this without verifying every step. The
process is not hard, pretty well documented, and you should be able to
figure it out. And you may want to change little bits if you run on an
SMP-capable machine.
Good luck.
