Hi Larry, i remember having a similar situation about ~ one week ago. doing a 'apt-get dist-upgrade' took very long (5min<x<10min) on one of the packages (i don't exactly remenber which one, but xserver-xorg was at least about to update). i have a AMD 3000+. that might give you a clue how long it might take on your machine.
watch 'top' to see if anything happens... and be patient. Tim Am Mittwoch, 1. November 2006 05:48 schrieb Larry Garfield: > Hi folks.
