i left it installing and went out, upon returning, turned monitor on - and screen behaving like cable unplugged from grfx card,
pressed reset and booted as normal
download speed had reduced to zero, before i went out
i presume the update was not successful, heres the output of konsole: urpmi.update[root@localhost dave]# urpmi.update
the entry to update is missing
(one of Installation Free DVD (cdrom1), updates, main, contrib, jpackage, plf-free, plf-nonfree, SoS-2006, SoS-Xchat, SoS-Xfce)
[root@localhost dave]# what now ?
