I suppose it is - you have the system (and all its resources) to yourself, and you avoid potential "sawing off the branch you're sitting on" problems when it starts re-installing things. (Although I have successfully made the world in multi-user mode without any apparent problems). > If so, How does one log the make process. > I would normally do: make <whatever> |& tee make.err > This don't work in single user mode. (Unless I did something wrong) If you got Syntax error: "&" unexpected this is because sh is the default shell for single-user mode and it doesn't understand C shell syntax. Either do (make world | tee make.err) & or just enter "csh" when it asks you which shell to use (instead of pressing the return key, which is presumably what you're doing now). > I'm having problems making world, It keeps crashing and I don't > get a chance to see the screen before it re-boots and eats > my source tree.
