Can you run up2date in text mode?

My Fedora 4 froze when running up2date also
(and genrally froze when in x mode),
but since have been booting in text
mode and the machine has been perfect.

good luck.

Have you tried running it with the "-v" option to get a bit more
visibility as to what it's doing? Are you sure you have enough disk
space for the packages that are downloaded? IIRC, the dependencies
are resolved before the download occurs, so you may be out of space.
If so, add "--tmpdir=/some/path" where "/some/path" points to a
directory on a filesystem with adequate space.

These are just ideas...I don't use up2date often.
