This Pentium-1 system already runs 4-stable.
For bumping it up to 5-current, would a cvsup of the sources with "tag=."
be sufficient? Or is an install from scratch recommended when moving
from 4-stable to 5-current? Bear in mind that these are going to be my
first steps into 5-current!

I realize I may have trouble with already installed ports, but there
are only few so far.
