freebsd stable - Apr 2003 - Installing FreeBSD-Stable and Upgrading to FreeBSD-Stable

I am a newbie trying to get the most current Stable version of FreeBSD
running. I have been using CVS to update my system, but things don't work
after an update. For example KDE 3.1 (from KDE 3.0) doesn't start using
startkde.

I am looking for instructions on the best way to Install the lastest
version of FreeBSD-Stable and how to Upgrade the system in the future.

Thanks.

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
should explain most. The Handbook contains a lot of information worth
reading.

Here's a quick tips page I have on the subject:

Your kde problem may have to do with a mismanaged ports tree.  I have 
tips for that as well: http://bsd.jocose.org/using_ports.html
