</question>
<answer>
<para>We <emphasis>strongly</emphasis> recommend that you use
binary snapshots to do this. 4-STABLE snapshots are available at
<ulink url="ftp://current.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/"></ulink>.</para>
<para>Because of the many changes between 3.X and 4-STABLE,
a direct upgrade from source will probably fail. A source
upgrade can be done, but only in stages. First, upgrade
to the latest 3-STABLE (<literal>RELENG_3</literal>).
Then upgrade to 4.1.1-RELEASE
(<literal>RELENG_4_1_1_RELEASE</literal>). Finally,
upgrade to 4-STABLE (<literal>RELENG_4</literal>).</para>
<para>If you wish to upgrade using source, please see the <ulink
URL="../handbook/cutting-edge.html">FreeBSD
Handbook</ulink> for more information.</para>
<caution>
<para>Upgrading via source is never recommended for new
users, and upgrading from 3.X to 4.X is even less so; make sure
you have read the instructions carefully before attempting to
upgrade via source.</para>
