That sounds like a long time. I think I sat in front of the computer and
watched it the first time, and it only took a little while. I'm on a dsl
line.

The one thing I wish it had (unless I missed it in the documentation) is a
rollback feature that would allow you to undo an update. If it had that, I
would have been able to undo the suse 10.1 update that made my keyboard go
crazy instead of doing a reinstall.
