Hi, I am using 11/Stable on a server built a few month ago, and I checked the h= andbook to verify steps https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/makeworld.html I noticed that there is no mention about booting into single user mode to e= xecute =AB # make installworld =BB. Is it not necessary anymore and all steps can be safely done from multi use= r mode, or this is a mistake and steps has not changed? In /usr/src/Makefile steps are: # For individuals wanting to upgrade their sources (even if only a # delta of a few days): # # 1. `cd /usr/src' (or to the directory containing your source tree= ). # 2. `make buildworld' # 3. `make buildkernel KERNCONF=3DYOUR_KERNEL_HERE' (default is GENER= IC). # 4. `make installkernel KERNCONF=3DYOUR_KERNEL_HERE' (default is GENER= IC). # [steps 3. & 4. can be combined by using the "kernel" target] # 5. `reboot' (in single user mode: boot -s from the loader prompt= ). # 6. `mergemaster -p' # 7. `make installworld' # 8. `mergemaster' (you may wish to use -i, along with -U or -= F). # 9. `make delete-old' # 10. `reboot' # 11. `make delete-old-libs' (in case no 3rd party program uses them anymo= re) Thank you for your clarification. Alexandre
