This is possible, however you are always taking a chance when you installworld without going to single user mode first. That said, I make a habit out of pushing my luck with systems I have in front of me by going so far as to make installworld while using an xterm in X-windows.

I routinely use 'portupgrade -rRN' in xterm, in X-Windows to install new ports on my box. The second to last time I did this, one of the ports what was upgraded was xterm. And it worked! Can anybody explain to my why nothing bad happened? Am I running a risk when I do this?
