Upgrade to 7.10 from 7.04 via online upgrade

[Charles J. Lingo]

I upgraded a system built on an Asus 5VPA board with an AMD K6-2/400 and 
320 MB RAM which had been used by my grand daughter for web surfing and 
schoolwork. It had had no problems, but the reports that I had seen 
indicated that 7.10 was faster than 7.04. I expected the upgrade to 
require me to answer questions and then indicate "GO" and forget the 
computer until the upgrade was complete. Since the DSL line that I am 
using is only slightly better than a good 56K modem, according to 
KNetStats, I started at about 11 PM and checked in again in the morning. 
I found the computer waiting for my permission to delete files that were 
"obsolete". this happened again several times before the installer ran 
and completed the install.

Since the upgrade, I have found only one major problem. The same 
internet connection, Quest supplied Actiontec modem and Encore Model No. 
ENRTR-104 10/100 Mb router, allows only one connection per instance of 
Firefox. It does not allow links to be followed from a search engine, or 
even from the "Bookmarks". When trying to follow a link the load bar at 
the lower right corner goes quickly to half way and STOPS. I have not 
tried the full email sytem, as I am only on the system for 
administration purposes.

Any ideas on fixing this without just downloading an iso of 7.10 and 
reinstalling from it would be appreciated
