Today I wanted to upgrade a busy server (busy with apache & proftp). I put apache & proftp on hold in /var/lib/dpkg/status, then ran apt-get update && apt-get -u dist-upgrade. No problem, no downtime. I'll get around to upgrading apache & proftp when activity is a bit lower, but aside from those two packages I've upgraded the whole system with 0 downtime. (well, maybe a second or two while the services restarted due to the libc6 upgrade...) But a reboot certainly wasn't required. noah -- _______________________________________________________ | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html
