I prefer to take the system down to single-user when : messing with system binaries, but a make world takes quite a while and : I'd rather not have the system down for any longer than necessary. you can't do make world in separate compile/install operations. Because it does some compiling, some installing, some compiling and then some installing again. I suppose that you could, in a chroot'd env do a make world and when that was done do a make install from the same files not in a chrooted world. Come to think of it, I seem to recall that others have done this. Warner
