10/12   I'm trying to upgrade my FreeBSD 4.1 RELEASE system to 4.1.1
        STABLE but I can't get a hang of this cvsup thing. What is
        the idiot admin's way of upgrading a FreeBSD system? Optionally,
        can I just use anon cvs to grab all of /usr/src and run
        make world?
        \_rtfm
        \_ 1. go to cvsup in the ports, do a make install
           2. take a look at /usr/share/example/cvsup (or something)
           3. update the ports first.  cvsup 4.x-ports_supfile
           4. update the src cvsup 4.x_src_supfile (or something similar)
           5. build new kernel
           \_ Read /usr/src/UPDATING, as it has some good tips.  In general,
              the procedure after cvsupping is:
              # cd /usr/src
              # make buildworld
              # edit /sys/i386/conf/YOURKERNEL
              # make buildkernel YOURKERNEL
              # shutdown now
              # make installkernel YOURKERNEL
              # make installworld
              # mergemaster
              # reboot
