<div><font face="Calibri">The time has come to do a upgrade of a Debian box system
files. One of the files is linux-image-2.6.18-5-686, so naturally I'm not
compfortable with this. What steps do I need to take to make sure this is
done without any hiccups. I do the work remotely, is that a good idea or
should I be onsite. Also the main reason is to keep the system up-to-date
and to prepare for an upgrade of another application, MailScanner..</font></div></div></blockquote><div><br>Upgrading the kernel should be fine as the system will continue using the existing kernel until a reboot. You can postpone a reboot until you're onsite if you're really worried but it'll probably be fine to reboot remotely.<br>
