I had a problem with the GUI upgrade software. Some good guys on this 
list suggested use of "aptitude" in a terminal. I am old and use a 
terminal often for my learning g++ and now getting upgrades. Right now I 
am getting large upgrades to Open Office.

The two step process is really 3 steps on my laptop. Step one is get 
wifi working :-)
Then I set up MY computer with: $sudo aptitude update and you can see 
this happening and it takes just a minute to train my laptop. Then I use 
the last step: $sudo aptitude safe-upgrade.

I got all the updates this morning and Jaunty is telling me I need to 
reboot. Sure is nice.
