From the above, I see understand that It has defined the upgrade necessary from my original CD set to the current release. Please tell me if that is correct. It seems then to say that it knows about the update URL, and is now "Refreshing guru102. Actually, I think it is doing nothing, for I see no activity of the router or of the HD, but the terminal has not returned to the prompt. I was going to let it sit there for a vew hours, and give it CTRL-C before I go to bed, but the system crashed when I entered "konqueror" in thesearch field of the lizard menu (per your suggesstion below), in the course of which a bug announcement came up, with an invitation to send in a bug report.
