If you can't do it safely in multi-user, how can you run "make installworld" with NFS mounted /usr/src and /usr/obj? When I drop into single user mode, my NFS mount points still show, but are unreachable. A simple cd into one of them hangs. jon At 4:31 AM -0500 12/14/99, Arcady Genkin wrote: >Hi. > >I'm about to do my first system update.
