Hello,
  I am wondering what the best(easyist) way is to go from FreeBSD1.1.5.1
to 2.x(I will most likeiy wait until 2.1). Do i just compile a new
kernal and use the old filesystem, or do i have to wipe out the
1.1.5.1 and do a fresh install on the partition? And if i did update
to 2.0 now, how are the updates to 2.x handled later? Is it just
a kernal recompile, or is there more to it?
