[Bug 881086] Re: Updating to Ubuntu 11.10 failed. Ubuntu-minimal missing

[Keith Stammers]

Hi, Tim.
I have tried several times to complete the upgrade and finally succeeded 
just now.  I think the problem is my inadequate broadband service which 
is somewhat unreliable. I'm guessing that my repeated attempts gradually 
completed all the files and allowed the installation.

If it helps you, I will attempt to send all 20 files, but I failed to do 
that the first time due to lack of expertise - I feel that this 
reporting system is for experts!  Let me know if you still need them for 
completeness.

Regards,
	Keith
