Subject: How to upgrade to 2.1-SNAP from 2.0?

I would like to upgrade from 2.0 to the current snapshot, and am ftp'ing 
the distribution.  I only have 80MB of free space on my FreeBSD partition 
(28MB in the biggest filesystem).

Can I install from my SCSI tape?  Or if I install from floppy, what 
distributions can I install over my existing 2.0 system and still have it 
work?  I am ftp'ing this over a 14.4, and it would take many hours to 
retrieve the whole thing, so I plan to get it piece by piece.

Please respond by email, as I can't always keep up with the newsgroup.
