The installation of the upgrade to 8.10 proceeded smoothly for almost two hours. I monitored the progress closely, because there always seem to be requirements for attention, like questions that pop up on the screen. The estimated-time-remaining counted down to one minute, then the estimation was removed since the process was about to finish.
The install of wvdial was noted, and then nothing happened. Twenty minutes later, I had the impression that no further progress was going to happen. I did not know if there are any commands that would skip that step and continue, otherwise I expected to have to power off and back on. ctrl+c was the first keystroke that had any effect. The installation continued, then discovered that wvdial had not completed it's install, and offered to retry that step. I approved, and the same wvdial install statement appeared. I waited over ten minutes before using ctrl+c again. The installation completed, without doing any cleanup or reboot. I shut down Ubuntu normally, then powered off and back on. The system appeared to boot normally. This computer does not have a modem. I note that wvdial is a modem program, so it did not seem that the installation should require any more time than the other packages. If wvdial requires a long time to compete the installation, I would suggest a note be added that alerts the user. I recall a similar problem when upgrading in spring 2008, with the wvdial installation occurring earlier. I had to burn a CD and do a complete installation. I am a novice Linux user, and am using this computer to get some experience. I apologize if my actions were not appropriate.
