Hi Will,
READ the Handbook :-). After you cvsup

Yes, I have run over the handbook, I was just a bit worried about the crashing server. Thanks for the run down.
I do not have physical access to the server. Can one make installworld running in multiuser mode, if one had shut down any active daemons and locked out the users?
I could re-install sshd into /usr/local so when I make installworld /usr/sbin/sshd will not be overwritten.
Can this be done without booting into single user?
Thanks!
Thanks for any advice.--will
If your system gives you a login prompt then the steps to follow are <dance> <coffee> <girl_friend> <get a ass thrashing from boss> <get back to work> :-)
hurray!
And yes u can cvsuo to current as well as stable tree. If you want to go to
stable, then use /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile.
Do read through that file before you run it.
Great.
