You can go into single user mode ('shutdown now'), and have all the
services stop. Then update them when necessary and do a '^D' to go
back into single user mode. This will not reset the uptime counter.
You would be stuck using an old kernel- and user-land however. If
there is only one open port to the outside world, and you make sure
that program is secure then it should not be a problem.
