Hi; Today I got brave and decided to upgrade to 2.2.5-R (from 2.2.2-R) on our server, but I didn't get past the "Adding default route 24.112.126.7". It was very slooow :-( I left it for an hour while I got lunch, and it was still stuck there. I also have a NE-2000 clone, connected to a 500k connection via cable modem. This happened 2 out of 3 times I tried to install it. The second time, I couldn't get any keystrokes to work in the "Visual Configuration" setup, so I ended up rebooting it. Gave up and stayed with 2.2.2-R. I tried this with my other server, and it worked fine, with the only difference being it having a 3Com card (beats my $20 NE-2000 Clone).
