Yes, see the same section: ,---- | The distribution upgrade should be done either locally from a textmode | virtual console (or a directly connected serial terminal), or remotely | via an ssh link. | | In order to gain extra safety margin when upgrading remotely, we suggest | that you run upgrade processes in the virtual console provided by the | screen program, which enables safe reconnection and ensures the upgrade | process is not interrupted even if the remote connection process fails. `---- Sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
