Debian warns not to do an upgrade over X, because X will go down and up when it is reinstalled, and then your upgrade will hang. I suspect this is less of a problem when the X server is running on a different machine from the one being upgraded. I don't recall any such warning for ssh, though. ssh connections seem to stay up even when the ssh demon is replaced, perhaps because the ssh demon is only involved in starting connexions, not in maintaining them. -- hendrik _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
