You do have to download the iso images again, but you don't have to
reinstall.  Live Upgrade will upgrade your system without requiring
downtime during the upgrade, and without a reinstall.  See the
live_upgrade(5) man page for details.

The underlying packaging tools are able to read from URLs, but the
regular upgrade process itself is not yet able to do that, and there's
no place with discrete packages available.  You might want to ask
about futures for install on the [EMAIL PROTECTED]
