On 06/01/2006 10:50 PM, * James Gray spake thusly:
Free advice (you get what you pay for): run system updates in runlevel 1, ie,
0. Modify sources.list for new version (Dapper)
1. sudo init 1
2. apt-get update
3. apt-get -u dist-upgrade
4. reboot
I'd heard that advice years ago but from what I've gathered things have
changed. At the very least you can do any kind of upgrade in an X
session. I've done this before and note messages stating "upgrade will
be completed after X session is restarted" (and similar).
So after I do a big upgrade I restart X or reboot depending on what I'm
upgrading.
But consuming lots of RAM running other applications while doing a major
upgrade probably isn't a good idea anyway. ;-)
The upgrading itself eats a sizable chunk of RAM.
