Definitely if you've kept off an update for more than a month! Things like OpenOffice, KDE, glibc, and all the other behemoths take "a while" (like up to a couple of hours, depending on CPU) to compile each. So 10 hours is definitely not something to worry about. -- Regards, Patrick Börjesson PGP signature: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x21792A5D PGP fingerprint: 74AF D4EF 6BDE CF77 16BE 6A29 CDB8 7607 2179 2A5D
