Don't forget to release the release documentation before installing
5.x to make sure you really want to run it given the status of that
release.

So, If I follow all those steps, coming from the /usr/src/UPDATING,

To just build a kernel when you know that it won't mess you up
--------------------------------------------------------------
cd src/sys/{i386,alpha}/conf
config KERNEL_NAME_HERE
cd ../../compile/KERNEL_NAME_HERE
make depend
make
make install

If this fails, go to the "To build a kernel" section.

To rebuild everything and install it on the current system.
-----------------------------------------------------------
# Note: sometimes if you are running current you gotta do more than
# is listed here if you are upgrading from a really old current.

<make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
<maybe fix /etc/fstab> [7]
make buildworld
make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
[1]
<reboot in single user> [3]
mergemaster -p [5]
make installworld
mergemaster [4]
<reboot>


Everthing, should be fine, right ?

thx

Assuming you know that it won't mess you up. For most purposes, that
means that you have previously done a full install with the same set
of system sources.
