Marius,
I agree that updating over a network should, and does work from a "normal" Linux distro, however, I'm not sure it's going to work on Maemo anytime soon; I'm guessing the small memory footprint prevents some of the applications from not killing off a SSH session when there's an upgrade. I'd say the better thing is to write into the install scripts that need to kill of network concections, a test to ensure there is not an active ssh session, and dump a warrning if there is.
You make it idiot proff, and I'll become a better idiot and still find a way to crash it. ;)
Thanks,
Denis

the network must work in any half-serious OS.
(Red-pill mode only affects the UI of the Application manager. It has
no effect on apt-get, etc.)
