I tried to it via command line and command line updating works but not as nice as the gui. I am running a new ibm thinkpad with 2 gigs of ram so ram is not an issue. any other ideas? THis is nt the first time it has happened before. i have int he past just reinstalled linux but this time i am serious about running it and i dont want to reinstall my os all the time. hmm still lost.
