I had some unexpected hiccups with both the K6-2 box and the 64-bit system. The K6-2 would not (at first) install gnome-user-guide, but after a reboot, it installed. The larger problem was on the 64-bit. The upgrader hung relating to "acpi-support" and sat there for 45 minutes doing absolutely nothing, displaying there were 51 minutes left. Since everything else was pretty much frozen, I manually powered down then rebooted into recovery mode, then selected to repair the packages. At that point, the process continued (with a text screen) and installed the remainder of the packages while removing the old. When it finished, it eventually prompted to press ENTER. I then sudo'd and did an init 6 to reboot, the system came up as expected afterwards. At least the 686-based laptop upgrade went through perfectly... :-) Jerry Feldman wrote: > I was able to upgrade to Lucid Lynx on Thursday night on my laptop with > virtually no apparent issues.
