I found a command for command line, but I decided to try gnome again. This time instead of answering no to continue I continued and this time 2 packages installed so I did ran install again and this time 6 packages didnt install. All packages were security packages. Next I tried bug fixes and 11 out of 12 failed to install. Flustered I then selected all bug fixes and (191MB) failed to install very quickly (less than a minute). I called top next and 3 processes were running, X, top, gnome terminal. CPU 4.8%, user 0.3% system 96.3& idle. The reason for running top was that the system is extreemly slow, frequently taking as much as a minute to respond. I felt it likely that this could be the problem. I am running the cpu applet on the console and the cpu is hardly used (very low use) on both KDE and gnome. The only thing I have to compare it to is a 586 however. Also I have yet to see swap used. CPU is athlon 2100+ XP with 512MB of mem. Any ideas? Regards; Hoyt
