Thanks. I'll look into that.

If I were to take a FreeBSD 8.1 instillation DVD and use the "upgrade an existing system" from the sysinstall menu, would that be a suitable option? I've never done that before, and I'm wondering about hidden snares or pitfalls that could take me by surprise. At this point I just want to upgrade the kernel, and not necessarily mess with the GUI and program settings. Although if I need to patch things, I will.

This DesktopBSD instillation has been dormant for several months (long story); that's why it has such an outdated kernel.
