Did you transfer all of the required sources from the CD?

It'll probably download just about everything new...I wouldn't think much
has stayed static between then & now. I'd suggest downloading the source
tarballs & downloading the binary tarballs & installing everything that way
if you wish to upgrade to -current. I'm currently in the middle of a make
build after making a new kernel...

prez# cd /usr
prez# du -sk src

Not quite small ;-)

Hope this helps,
