Default can I upgrade PC-BSD 1.3 (FreeBSD6.1) to FreeBSD 6.2 ?
Given the statements made quite frequently that PC-BSD is FreeBSD, can I follow the upgrade path from FreeBSD6.1 to FreeBSD6.2 on my PC-BSD 1.3 install?

what would likely break?

apologies if this is a really dumb question.

Update your system sources and read /usr/src/UPDATING ;-)

Shouldn't be much trouble other then a lot more mergemaster work in /etc/ I think.

Use the kernel configuration in /PCBSD/conf/ that relates to your system (e.g. PCBSDv1.3 or PCBSDv1.3-SMP e.t.c.) instead of the GENERIC config in the FreeBSD sources. Other wise you can break a few things lol.

If you update the kernel but not the rest of the FreeBSD base they say you can break a few things. So remember the handbook well xD
