You can see if the software updater is complete by opening up a terminal 
and verifying pirut using rpm -qaV.

Mostly though, the problem is due to repos not being reachable for the 
program to operate. The program relies on access to the same repos that 
yum and the software updater use. Getting updates from the CDs or DVD do 
not work right now. The problem should be fixed soon in an update for 
FC5. (not sure of when)
