Does mandrake's (7.2) "update" take days to complete or is it broken?

I am running Mandrake 7.2 and because my cups was not working (no printing),
I decided as a last resort to try Update from the original CDs.  That
upgraded some thing and since then cups is working fine.

But, after asking for language and keyboard option, the "upgrade" runs
forever and seems frozen.  Is that normal?

In fact I left it running for 6-8 hours while it was "searching for items to
upgrade" and finally had to shutoff the PC because I had no other way to
stop it and I thought it was frozen (even though the cursor moved with the
mouse).  When I rebooted into Linux, it checked the files and all seems fine
and works fine, but now when I shutdown correctly, xinetd shows "Failed" in
the scrolling lists of things it does on shutdown.

What is xinetd and how do I correct this?  What rpm from the original CDs
should I re-install to restore things so xinetd would not fail on shutdown?

Thank you.
