severity 458154 wishlist
Bug#458154: [NSLU2] ssh connection should not time out
Severity set to `wishlist' from `normal'
Please note: I was not able to recover "gracefully" from the timeout.
Instead, I had to restart the installation (three separate times!) after
reformatting the root partition. It is certainly possible I could have
cleaned up a file or two with the installer console, but I didn't have
the patience or the knowledge of the installer's internals to make that
happen in a timely manner.
The embedded - or at least headless/no-console - nature of the NSLU2
means that the only way to perform the install is via ssh (or to
completely build the target boot disk from another system). After a
timeout, I would ssh back to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and be given the option
to pick up where I left off, but then I'd get told that there was an
error. Thus there are at least two bugs here: 1) the ssh timeout during
the install, which in turn shows 2) an error recovery glitch in the
installer.
retitle 458154 network-console: long time-out time during install
Bug#458154: [NSLU2] ssh connection should not time out
Changed Bug title to `network-console: long time-out time during install' from
`[NSLU2] ssh connection should not time out'.
Really? I think the prior title was more appropriate: during an
install, the ssh connection should not time out.

Tags were: unreproducible

No, this was completely reproducible. It happened to me - identically -
at least three times. It only stopped being a problem when I added this
to my .ssh/config on the host I was using to connect to my slug:
ServerAliveInterval 2
