Peter Risdon helpful contributes: > You don't _have_ to boot into single user mode. See below. Okay, cool. I have one last question (me thinks) before I attempt this. (and I'll attempt it on my home server, first, even though it is a 5.3 box. At least I can get practice). On the 4.9 server, what should my supfile's tag be? *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4_11 Is that right? And I assume I would then be safe doing: rm -fr /usr/src cvsup stable-supfile [ re: going from 4.x to 5.x] > No, this would have some issues that you might be better avoiding > right now. I've since gathered that is the case. I can see it is possible, but since the server has two drives, I think I'll wait on this, install 5.3 on the second drive, and deal with that stuff then. > The only time I have ever had a problem with a remote upgrade within the > 4.x tree was when _I_ made a mistake. You think you're special, eh? :c) I make some JUICY mistakes sometimes, too!! > The only difference from the procedure in the handbook for a remote > upgrade is that you would not boot into single user mode at any point, > obviously, but instead do a normal reboot. Generally, I am the only user logged into the machine. So the only issue is running processes, which I am not all that worried about since right after the install I'm going to reboot..... > Do read /usr/src/UPDATING, consider what you might need > in /etc/make.conf and understand how mergemaster(8) works before > Starting. Thank you, Peter.
