by the way...
after downloading all packages, it gets to "running test transaction" 
and then "Success!".
did you have to wait a LOOOOONNNNGGG time after this?
on my first goround it finally went past this and did exactly one 
package upgrade then appeared to die.
I waited 30 minutes but not a single blink on the hard drive, and I 
opened another console and checked "top" and everything was "asleep".

let me know if I should just let it sit after that first package 
upgrade. thanks.
