If I'm not mistaken this is already covered in "4.1.4 Prepare a safe environment for the upgrade": http://www.debian.org/releases/etch/i386/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html#s-upgrade_preparations Maybe the 'should' to be changed to a 'must' and a footnote could be added describing this issue. Also, the section "4.1.2 Inform users in advance" could be changed to describe that users running a X11 session will not be able to work and all users in that situation should be asked to log out from their X sessions (remote or local). Regards Javier PD: Is there a way to make gdm/kdm block out users from login in through an upgrade through the use of a banner text? If so, that could be recommended too. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
