Greg.
I did the update.
The update did go ok. Up to now there is nothing which makes me suspicious.
The only thing I do not understand is:
Loging in to the Qube trough telnet I do still see
************************************************************
Cobalt Linux release 6.0 (Carmel)
Kernel 2.2.16C7 on an i586
************************************************************
Not 6.1
Checking the update with the Browser informs the update 6.1 is installed.
Would be nice to hear a comment from Cobalt about this.
