Heya!  The handbook is a pretty good reference but the info for 
upgrading is sort of disorganized in my opinion. I can give you a 
step by step guide but first I will need to know what version of FBSD 
(assuming that we are talking about FBSD!) that you are currently 
running as well as which version of FBSD you want to end up with.

Here''s some relevent links from the handbook:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/current-stable.html
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html

Let me know if you are still stuck after reading those pages and I''ll 
give you some help. :)

I have to upgrade the following FreeBSD versions:
_FreeBSD 4.8-RC
_FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE
_FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE (maybe upgrade to FreeBSD 6.0-STABLE - if it is
possible)
