[LI] Re: [linux-delhi] Upgrade to RH 6.1 remotely

[Sanjeev Gupta <ghane@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Raju,

I have done this with a Debian box.  The problem is at the moment that
telnetd (or equiv) is replaced.  You will lose your connection.  If all
goes well, the new telnetd starts, and you can login again and see what is
going on.

Estimate time that the upgrade will take.  Add 30 mins to it.  put in an
`at' job to reboot the machine after that much time.

Look at the dependancies.  If libc and friends are not being upgraded,,
first upgrade the network demons.  _Then_ run your upgrade scripts as you
wish.

Of course, I have never used RedHat, so all this may be irrelevant
