The Fedora 7 upgrade took four hours just to get to the "Finishing upgrade process", and now it has been four more hours waiting for the "Finishing upgrade process" to finish. Running top shows that anaconda is switching between running and sleeping, and a series of single ldconfig processes that come and go (process number increments) that switch from running to uninterruptable sleep before terminating. I think I may need to kill the upgrade but I am hoping that one of these days the upgrade will finish. I am wondering if this is normal when doing upgrades rather than a fresh install. The latter takes so long to get the system back to the original configuration. Any suggestions? Bill
