  supports upgrading to a new version as well as just upgrading to a newer
  version of the same release.
- Eventually I will steal and modify mergeslave to make updating /etc easier.
+ Now, you can just use "install".  If you are moving between versions it
-         http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanb/software/OpenBSD-binary-upgrade/
+ will install the new kernel.  You then need to reboot, and run it again
+ and it will run mergeslave after extracting available sets.  This will
+ mean you are running it on the same version kernel as the available sets
+ and it will install a new kernel (just in case it needs to be updated)
+ and then extract the available sets.
- The files in the collection you should use are as follows:
+ The proper way use these scripts manually would be to do the following:
+         get_sets
+         install_kernel
+         reboot
+         install_sets
+         upgrade /etc.  I still need to test mergeslave to see how that works.
+         reboot
+ The files in the collection are as follows:
+ install
+         This calls get_sets if there are no sets, then call
+         install_kernel, then, if the version of the kernel we are booted
+         off is the same as the sets, it installs the sets, and if it was
+         an upgrade between versions (there was an etcXX.tgz from the
+         previous version downloaded) install mergeslave, then it will
+         tell you to reboot.
  get_sets
          This downloads the latest kernels and sets from mp3s.hewus.com.
          It uses installed_sets to only download the kernels and sets

          /etc after you have run this, as well as upgrading packages with
          pkg_add -ui then reboot.
+ mergeslave
+         This is a modified version of mergeslave.  You should only use
+         it if upgrading between versions, not -stable upgrades.

  installed_sets
          This is a helper script that returns a list of the sets that are
          currently installed on the box you are running it on.
+ release.sh
+         This is the OpenBSD - Release Building Shell Script
+         from FenderQ.com - Internet Security Solutions
+         http://www.fenderq.com/release.sh
- $RedRiver$
+         Slightly modified to make it do what I want.
+         I run it like this:
+         $ sudo release.sh clean update system release clean
