I don't think this is a true statement. You're probably going to 
need/want to ask a lot of questions as you find out what it is you need 
to do.

Yes, there are. You want to look at the handbook, I would go here:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html

Read chapter 8, 19 and Appendicies A5 and A6. Also, /usr/src/UPDATING 
and /usr/ports/UPDATING.

Hello Michael,

Kris said you need to update to 5.3-STABLE. To do that there are some 
things you're going to need to learn about. In particular, cvsup, 
sup-files, and what to do then. 

To get cvsup installed, if you haven't done it yet, the easiest way 
would be:
	pkg_add -r cvsup

Can you connect to the Internet using your FBSD box? I looked at the 
headers on your email and noticed Apple Mail.

Are you using a dial-up connection or broadband?

Don

I'm not totally useless,
I can be used as a bad example.
