I took Lonni's advice. Here are the last two log messages before the hang: 22.08:43 IINFO : switching from CD [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] to 1 for ('evince', 'i386', '0', '0.6.0', '3.fc6') 22:40:58 IFNO : switching from CD [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] to 2 for ('openoffice.org-impress', 'i386', '1', '2.0.4', '5.3) Any ideas on what went wrong?
