| First of all, the only reliable place to do the upgrade from, is either
| locally from a textmode virtual console (or a directly connected serial

| rlogin, rsh and X clients) may well be terminated during the upgrade,

Upgrading slink to potato should work over a ssh link and did when I
tried it four months ago. Of course, the terminal is still the safest
bet.
