You don't need to go to single user mode to upgrade unless you have a lot of other users logging into your system. At worst, you can do 'make buildworld' multi-user, then switch to single user and do 'make installworld' which only takes a few minutes. The combination of make buildworld and make installworld do everything that 'make world' does. Good luck, Doug -- "So, the cows were part of a dream that dreamed itself into existence?
