is there any safe way to do this over a network connection? it keeps saying drop into single user mode, but I am not going to have the console (unless I pay the place I'm colocated at way too much money). Also, I'm running 2.2.5-RELEASE, but I'm guessing the only difference is I'll go 2.2.5-release -> 2.2.8-stable and 2.2.8-stable -> 3.2-stable. I probably should make this upgrade soon, even if I have to wind up paying the money, since the newest ports are starting to break (I'm guessing this is because my OS is too old). tia.
