I am currently running FreeBSD-1.1-GAMMA and would like to upgrade
to 1.1-RELEASE but I am a little unsure of how to do this.  I 
see that there is now a patch but this seems to be for the
source and not the binaries.  I would rather not recompile
the whole source!  How can I upgrade the binaries??  Would
this be done by simply downloading them and extracting them
on top of the GAMMA binaries?  It seems like this might erase
some of my configuration files in /etc, or are they included
in the binaries??

Thanx,
Dan
