Yes, but not me. I'll use simple English.

The easiest and best way is to  download a floppy image and use it
for a FTP install. Do this:

    0)  Make a  backup. (Always  make  backups. Make an  extra
    backup for  this because  it's easy  to make  big mistakes
    when upgrading.)

    1)  Go  to: http://openbsd.trumpetpower.com/de/ftp.html  .
    Pick a server near you.

    2) Go to: http://openbsd.trumpetpower.com/faq/de/faq4.html
    . It has all the instructions you need.

    3) When you start the installer, pick [U]pgrade instead of
    [I]nstall.

    4)    When    you're    done,   be    sure    to    visit:
    http://openbsd.trumpetpower.com/de/errata.html .

Don't use CVS. It  works great, but it's meant  for advanced users
and developers. You don't need it.

Of course, send another note if you need more help.

Sincerely,
