This makes sense. (If you do recommend gdm be stopped I suggest, FWIW, that you move all the stuff about using Alt-Fn to switch to the console, along with my patch, to section 5. This has no doubt occurred to you. :) FYI, you may wish to check for consistently as to which console is used for the upgrade. While grepping the release notes when making this patch I noticed, but did not look into, a reference to using VT2 but other parts of the document talk about pressing Alt-F1. grep VT2 -r /tmp/release-notes/release-notes/en/ Karl <[email protected]> Free Software: "You don't pay back, you pay forward." -- Robert A.
