Upgrading Slack Packages

[Ryeker]

Slackware recommends running in single user mode to upgrade packages, like imapd and glibc. Well, the server I want to patch up is a bit away. Is it ok to stay in multiuser mode? I can ensure those servers aren't running (killing processes) and such.

Thanks!

I would feel much more comfy if I was there at the machine, just in case something happens...

Yep, just learned that the hard way... Upgraded a few packages, and now, for some reason, I cannot telnet back in... hmm... not good. http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif Live and learn...
