Seeing as how this is my first post to this fine mailing list, I first want to make sure that my message is formatted properly. I'm using MS Outlook (cringe) and don't want to offend anyone if it's formatted incorrectly. Anyway, on to my real question. I have my system installed, and have CVSup-ed my source... So I think I'm ready to rebuild the world. However, considering that my BSD box is in a remote out of the way location in my basement, I am using ssh to do as much as possible on the box. Can I rebuild my system via ssh, or do I NEED to work directly on the machine? Can I drop into single user mode and still access the system via ssh (I know, sounds like I answered my own question, but hey we newbies never know) Thanks, ---- Joe Fry ---- (joe@thefrys.com)
