As someone pointed out though you run a risk with not rebooting into single user, since your new kernel may not boot. With a new userland, and having to reboot the "old" kernel, you run a risk of a problem... So to reboot into single user, when it gets to the 10 second countdown hit something other than return and type "boot -s" at the prompt. -- Regards Cliff Sarginson -- <csfbsd@raggedclown.net> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
