Right after I received my 2.3 CD's I went home to do a clean 2.3 install 
on a new system.  Whoops the CD-ROM drive was bad, since I didn't feel 
like going back into town I went ahead and did a complete install across 
a modem via a FreeBSD box connected via modem.  I had dinner, went to sleep, 
went out for breakfast, came back and voila.

Not a recommended route but it can be done.
