up2date hanging

[Steve Pyatt]

I had this same issue. On top of about a dozen others just getting
started. I ran it several times before it seemed to get everything
correctly. The nice thing is once it is downloaded, it did not download
again. You might try running just a few of the packages instead of all
of them. It didn't seem to really matter though.

Subject: up2date hanging

Hi folks,

having got the network working I decided to run up2date.

Having taken most of yesterday downloading (102 updates) I left it
overnight. 
This afternoon when I returned to it, the download had finished and it
needed me to click a button before proceeding (?).

I clicked about 4 hours ago and then sat watching the hourglass.  The
hourglass is still spinning and it's time to go home again.

Two questions

1) should it take this long? (Celeron 700 with 120MB (8MB stolen by
graphics
card)

2) if I kill it and start again, will it a) do better next time, and b)
need to re-download everything.
