No, I don't understand it either. The sitch is this: I'm trying to install a new server, but for some reason the latest installer barfs and locks up every time, so I install with an older version and then manually update all the packages. This latter part is tricky because all the packages have dependencies, so to upgrade one I may have to upgrade (or add) some others which may in turn require more; also, the old packages I'm replacing may be required by other packages which I also have to replace. etc. Anyway, for some reason this activity attracted a crowd of colleagues avidly watching me - and when I got SSH working I made to finish the job from my own desk I was halted by cries of "but then how will we watch?!" (OK, slight exaggeration there - but only slight). Only when the job was complete did I get any peace. Quite bizarre...
