I finally got it done.  BION with Mandrake Update.

Here's what I did:

The machine in question is 80miles away so I depend on ssh to admin and
keeping it up and running is of utmost importance.

I got the idea of using Mandrake Update but wanted to test first.  So I
fired up sshd on my home machine, which wasn't upgraded either since I
don't leave it on.  Then I logged into the remote machine and then back
to the home machine to have an open connection to the sshd.

I then started up Mandrake Update and did the update.  Everything worked
fine and my connection stayed.  I then did a sshd -v on the home machine
to make sure the version was correct, it was.  I did a restart on the
home sshd in /etc/rc.d/init.d and the connection stayed.  Here's why I
needed to verify that the connections would stay.

I did a ssh user at host -f MandrakeUpdate to the remote machine.  This
gave me an X forward of the update app. which I did the update with then
checked the version of sshd and restarted. VOILA! Nifty as all get out.

Many, many, many thanks and appreciation to all who gave help and
suggestions while it was not working.
