The port 22 was still open, i could ping the machine... I think it simply freaked out, back at home I had to do a hard-reset... Very odd :(</p> trickie http://base-art.net/Comments/208/ October 28, 2006 08:03 PM <p>Use a screen (<a class="reference" href="http://www.gnu.org/software/screen/screen.html">http://www.gnu.org/software/screen/screen.html</a>) session, you won't lose your install process if the ssh server restarts or you lose your connection.</p> <p>sudo aptitude install screen</p>
