There's always that "Mad Rush" to jump on the latest version; and even a week may be less than adequate to clear the backlog. That "some of us" I referred to above is the people with broadband connections that I've gotten commitments from for the torrent. The four I've already cooked in other words. :-) 3 cable including mine, and 2 1.5mbit/768mbit ADSL connections. It may actually help. I hope. - From what I've seen so far from the boxes I've 'cooked'; and the postings on cooker from people regarding their upgrade experiences, it's looking as though the urpmi upgrade path will be less trouble than at any previous release. Most of what I had to do after the fact was cleanup.
