In message <38EA0849.F9BC8C4A@thehousleys.net> James Housley writes: : Another question. It mentions that in -CURRENT you can use -j4. Is : that -CURRENT 5.x or the now -STABLE 4.x and -CURRENT 5.x ? It should be safe. However, it is always wise to be conservative when upgrading a system across major releases and *NOT* try to get fancy. Most testers of the UPDATING file didn't use -j, and that can lead to race conditions if things aren't all just so. I think it will just work, but -j is generally only safe to upgrade within a major version. And don't try to do an installworld -j n, n > 1. It just isn't worth it and is a silly risk unless you know that it will definitely work. Just inho, of course.
