interesting. i have managed to do my "make installworld" updates on 3.4
without dropping to single user in the past. i know this is often
ill-advised...but i seem to get away with it. is this not possible in
future releases? or is this only super critical with the 3.4->4.0 upgrade?
thanks in advance.
cheers,
jeff
