Hmmm, on my second upgrade today I did a 4.0 to 4.2 upgrade, i.e.
threw the 4.2 CD in a 4.0 machine, upgraded, and then followed the
directions for 4.0 to 4.1 and 4.1 to 4.2.   Am I putting myself at
risk?

I love "pkg_add -ui -F update -F updatedepends".

Up until this upgrade I'd manually removed and added packages.
