[newbie] 9 hour upgrade!!

[Juvenal]

hello people, i just upgraded mandrake 7.0 to 7.1 and it took me 9 hours (computer doing all the processing) and i have to ask what happen why did it take so long? i've installed/upgraded different version of linux all the way back from redhat5.1 - 6.2 and a few mandrake versions.   it never even came close to this long, 30-75 min's tops can anyone give me any idea why it took this long?
