What is the prefered way to update a remote machine now? For years, I've run a make buildworld, installworld, cd /sys/i386/conf config, build and install a kernel, then reboot. All through telnet or ssh. I've never had problems in the past, and all goes well. Is there a better way to do this on a machine that you can't get to the console?
