Re: [cobalt-users] What does the RaQ do when updating?

[Debbie Doerrlamm <wkdwich@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Like if you are on a PC in the middle of an install the machine locks it
can do some horrid stuff.. lets say it deleted an important file and was
writing the new file at time of dropped carrier.. well then you may not be
able to get back into the box..

Maybe if you have the file on the box and call the upgrade it might finish
if you lost the connection, but since all pkg files are installed thru the
GUI, I'm fearful it will really make a mess..

I'll stand in the bushes and see what happens to everyone else.. I'll prob
FTP the file over to the box this eve tho
