I have managed to get a custom kernel running but was wondering if there is any safe way to make world and install world remotely without having to arrange for a tech to do it for me at $100/hr. I was just wondering since the handbook only mentions doing install world from single user mode. Thanks! -- James W. Thompson, II (New Orleans, LA)
