I installed 5.0 when I first tried out freeBSD this spring, and after

Unfortunately everywhere I look and read the recommendation is to go
with 4.8 not 5.x, and especially would I like the nvidia drivers to
work, therefor do I need to downgrade my system.
Is that possible? To go from 5.0 to 4.8 by using the cvsup and
buildworld procedure? Are there any pitfalls?
The system is mainly used for samba-filesharing and web-service provided
by Apache-Tomcat.
It's possible, but not supported. I did this once and my system threw up
all over me. (/bin/sh wouldn't run, etc.) So : try it, but make a backup
first.
