I did not make myself clear. Whar I wanted to say was that I did security 
upDATE, not an upgrade to MR 8.0.

When  I try to update my system from the "Software Update" in DrakConf
This is what happens:
> 1)getting ftp servers goes fine
> 2)getting list of updates goes fine
> 3) downloading files goes fine
> 3) preparing for install goes vvery slow
> 4) installing freeses everything, takes very long time (6 hrs for 10
> update items - 15 MB of downloaddata) monitor goes completely black,
> at the end.
> 5) After reboot everything seems fine and (pehaps) I have been
> successfully updated !?

I would just ask if this is normal procedure for mandrake upDATE
service to go like this, or I have to do it otherwise (I do it like
the tutorial on the mandrake.com site.
Thanks
