Here is some more information about my environment....
1. LM PC is on LAN. Firewall PC has ADSL pppoe connection.
2. Firewall is FreeSCO 0.27 with pppoe. (This is Roaring Penguin pppoe and requires all PC's behind it to have MTU set to 1492.)
3. I am doing a CD install, choosing upgrade.
4. At the end of the install/upgrade process "Install system updates". This hangs.
