I (also) rarely boot into single-user mode (in gerneral, and certainly for in-place src updgrades -- and I do those way more often than any sane person would recomend, certainly for machines that one is intending to actually use productively). But -- perhaps out of a (misplaced?) sense of paranoia -- immediately prior to "make installworld", I remove /usr/share/man and rename /usr/include -- in order to be sure that the contents of /usr/share/man and /usr/include actually correspond with what I've just installed (once it's completed). (This presumes, of course, that the only process to update those hierarchies in any meaningful way is "make installworld" -- as any other modifications would be lost. In my case, that is intentional.) [For thos who may be curious: I generally track head and stable/{head-1} daily; since stable/11 was branched, I'm also still tracking stable/10 until I decide to drop stable/10 and migrate to stable/11. I do this on a couple of machines, one of which is my (perhaps abused) laptop.] Peace, david --=20 David H.
