I'm about to do my first system update. I run FreeBSD on a headless P133, which I maintain over network. I understand that I can safely do "make buildworld" in multiuser mode. But how about "make installworld"? Will I have to drag my box out of the closet and connect a monitor to it for that purpose? What can go wrong if I do installworld over the network?
