Gotta couple questions that I couldn't seem to find answers to in the mailing list archives... 1) By using sup to update the src tree here, will I indanger some of the local changes we've made? (i.e. des and 16char usernames) 2) make world sometimes causes problems on a running system, possibly updating libs before the appropriate binaries and rebuilding kernel. (i.e. w, and who always act funny) 3) Any comment on this idea: We do system maint on sunday nights. Would it be acceptable/safe to run sup and make the day before, and have it actually install while in single-user mode? How do you postpone the install step?
