The thread was about problems during an install. Many people have
found that, while installing Red Hat 6.1 by FTP, there is a 20 minute wait
between each and every package being installed. I saw some stuff
about pump having problems in 6.1. Did anyone wait for 20 minutes,
or just assume that the system was hung? Would pump be running
during an FTP install? ps isn't available, but /proc is. I was trying to find
out how to determine what processes were waiting on, without most
of the usual tools.
