You needed to use the -p option which would get packages if it can. If you upgrade early, you need a cpu with considerable power. The problem is being patient long enough :). I have an AMD 2400+ XP and it had to build the gnome stuff and the new release of kde-3.4.3. It took a while :). However, I had packages on it, that I could move to my other 5.4 computers, long before they had packages on Marcus' tinderbox, which is where the gnome_upgrade.sh script, which came along about 10 Novermber, gets the gnome packages.
