My experience was that I had to recompile my kernels with psuedo-tty support (this meant that I had to have a new enough kernel). This was a fairly aggravating problem for one remote install. It might be nice if the preinst warned about this, especially if it can check in /proc to see if ssh is likely to be hosed after the install. -- Rob Browning <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP=E80E0D04F521A094 532B97F5D64E3930
