After installing FreeBSD, I would like to follow some simple steps to get it
fully up-to-date. The Handbook and other online instructions seem a bit
overwhelming. I developed some instructions when I was experiementing with
5.x, and I'm not sure if the are still valid for 6.x. Do these instructions
look okay, or should I be using something else?
