In /var/tmp, you have a file named gnome_upgrade_lst.XXXXX (the X's are random chars). All you have to do is fix the openoffice build problem -- or remove the openoffice line from that file, and do: gnome_upgrade.sh -restart /var/tmp/gnome_upgrade_lst.XXXXX and it will pick up where it left off. # Adam -- Adam Weinberger adamw@magnesium.net || adamw@FreeBSD.org adamw@vectors.cx || adamw@gnome.org http://www.vectors.cx
