 Hi Rebecca, 
  
 Glad the other install went smooth. 
 I think I remember a warning in earlier release notes against running the 
 upgrade in a graphical console. 
 What you always can do, though, is to open a screen or tmux session. That 
 could be attached to even if your graphical console is not reacting anymore. 
 (Alt+Fn knowledge is probably in the decline so it might still be a good 
 idea 
 to mention it in any upgrade guides.) 
  
 All the best 
 Michael
