Thanks!  So you can do everything in multiuser mode, or do you still
have to drop to single user mode to actually install the new kernel and
new system binaries?

Also, does doing all of this bring me to the most recent stable release?
(I noticed that 5.3 was released yesterday, presumably just after I
downloaded 5.2.1).

Thanks again,
