Huh? If that was much quicker (you were running the same kernel, from the install image?) - where did the upgrade spend all the additional time? Extracting sets should be the major part, plus a bit of "postinstall" where it hashes all the (new with -10) SSL certificates (and the script doing so is suboptimal). Neither should take even close to 10 minutes on amd64 hardware from the last 10 years or so. Martin
