What I feared was the upgrade process itself. I guess that mysql and the new 2.6 kernel will get installed in the same "apt-get dist-upgrade" run and thus if mysql-server-5.0 hangs and the user presses ctrl-c he is left with a half broken system. Or is there some mechanism that tells the user first to upgrade to a 2.6 kernel then reboot and then update the rest of the packages? bye, -christian-
