I can't vouch for having done it but technically it is absolutely
possible and I doubt you would run into any serious trouble.  If you're
really worried about upgrading between more than one minor release you
could always try incrementing, which will work for sure.  It seems a
rather silly way to do it though.

  Best wishes,

make buildworld .. 4.5 to 4.8

[Jeff MacDonald]

Hi,

I have an older machine that was recently turned over
to me for administration. It's running Fbsd 4.5 right
now and is a product machine. Re-install is not an option.

Is it safe to do the mergemaster/makebuildworld etc. operation
on it to bring it from 4.5 to 4.8 in one step ?

I've only got experience doing it from 1 point release to
another.

Thanks.

Jeff.
