Thanks Thomas, I'll give that a try next time. For now it's quit nagging
me unless any kind of an update comes in then when the update is
finished the popup will tell me I still need to reboot from previous
updates and I click 'remind me later' eventually it seems to just give
up. This seems to be working since I removed the symlink and link that
was mentioned in an earlier post.
