ed7e384ac9 Note: 5.0 requires more space. If you don't have 30MB free on /, then 
you are going to get hurt badly if you try to do an update from
sources.  Make a note of this.  While 'experts' could install it in
less space, I think 30MB is a good number.

efbb8c34b9 A simple make world is too dangerous for most upgrades. Instead, copy 
the updating from stable section, and remove the kludge-o-rounds that
are in there.

Sometimes make world is safe, sometimes not.  Let's document the safe
way to deal.

e4263b7814 More Elven advice: 
Update /etc/rc* if you are going to run a system with aout
libraries, otherwise ldconfig won't know what to do and all dynamic
aout binaries will fail.

844c83b624 On Dec 24 the wcd driver was removed. The new driver is acd. Make a 
note of this in the updating file.  Put it under the 19981224 date
rather than today's date, since that was when the change was.

Also added note about floppy tape driver.  Didn't add note about
voxware or pcvt as they have been restored to the kernel.

2d779bd860 Add a poitner to Peter's page on the ELF migration day. This is the 
day when the elves sail accross the sea to a new home, which happens
to be in your computer.  They will sing glorious songs for the Eldar
days.  You machine will shun the darkness that is upon the world.

Errrm, well actually you won't even notice...

5ad7ce8c7f Add impending flag day for ELF. Make notes about elf userland and elf 
kernel forced migration happening soon.

While still incomplete, and there may be showstoppers along the way,
the advise given here is not incorrect.

b00bd5cb8c This file contains minimal instructions for the moderately clueful to 
update their systems from prior versions of FreeBSD.  It is only for
November 18, 1998 and newer systems.  If you have an older system, you
are on your own.

I'll update this from time to time, and if it shows signs of bitrot
I'll kill it.
