I upgrade libc quite often in multi-user mode, and almost every make world I've done has been in multi-user mode. You just have to remember that any programs currently running will still use the old libraries, so untill you reboot most of your system is still running the old code. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
