Is it possible to ignore the "reboot in signle mode" part? It is not possible to get this system into single mode, because it has to be up, always. it can have a maximum downtime of maybe 45 seconds, which is too long to go into single mode and compile stuff. I know it is obviously more dangerous to be in multi-user mode, but is it one of those "better safe than sorry, but it will probably work" things? --Phil -----Original Message----- From: John Reynolds [mailto:jjreynold@home.com] Sent: Saturday, July 15, 2000 2:04 PM To: winter@villaweb.net Subject: Re: Upgrading 3.5-STABLE to 4.0-STABLE [ On Saturday, July 15, Phil Rosenthal wrote: ] > Is there any way I can safely upgrade 3.5-STABLE to 4.0-STABLE (or is it 4.1 now?) remotely? > It is not easy to go to the actual server and upgrade... > Thanks, > --Phil I think this is definitely "doable" but it takes knowing exactly what to do. If you CVSUP the sources to 4.x-STABLE look at /usr/src/UPDATING and read EVERYTHING in the file. If I were you I would absorb everything, write down every single procedure you would do in order to get this done and then post this with a "am I correct" message. There are some gotchas in 4.0/4.1 with /etc and OpenSSL, etc. -Jr -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= John Reynolds Chandler Capabilities Engineering, CDS, Intel Corporation jreynold@sedona.ch.intel.com My opinions are mine, not Intel's.
