Doing a complete update can break things and would require a dahdi recompile.<br><br>In lieu of screen you know you can open as many windows as you want in putty or winscp on a remote system. I generally have 6 or more putty windows open, to different or the same servers.<br><br>However if you do want to play I would suggest making a backup of your image to another SD card. One you can boot up and play with and if you break something it is no big deal. You can't hurt anything.<br><br>On the backup card when you download a package and it gives you an error try - pacman -Sy <package-name><br>This should work but in some rare occasions could break things.<br><br>If you get it working and everything seems to work you can just use that image. You always have a backup (your original) to use if a problem arises. <br id="FontBreak"></font><br><b><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4">73 Doug</font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4"><br></font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4">WA3DSP</font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4"><br></font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4">http://www.crompton.com/hamradio</font></b><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4"><br></font><br><br><div>> From: ron@morell.us<br>> To: arm-allstar@hamvoip.org<br>> Date: Sat, 26 Dec 2015 11:03:34 -0700<br>> Subject: Re: [arm-allstar] How to install Screen<br>> <br>> Operating impulsively here... <br>> <br>> I found this:<br>> http://lists.hamvoip.org/pipermail/arm-allstar/2014-June/000078.html<br>> And so updated my /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist so pacman might install.
