In message <Pine.WNT.4.21.0008031201560.356-100000@armani.yourfit.com> Chris BeHanna writes: : If you want to minimize the downtime, do "make buildworld" in : multi-user mode instead, then drop to single-user mode and do "make : installworld" and reboot. This is the "safe" way of doing things. One can often get away with the make installworld in multiuser mode (In fact, I just did it last night). However, it is wisest to reboot after that so that things like sendmail isn't "cross threaded" with one version running for the daemons and another running for outgoing mail. One can often get away with it, but it isn't supported. Basically there are lots of potential problems that are eliminated by doing the installworld in single-user mode.
