Hi Kevan,

Thank you for replying back to my post.

I hope that it is ok for me to start typing at the top here as I am not
familiar with the netiquette for user groups.

I did the update for 7.04 and it did all the upgrades in an hour. In the
list of the upgrades the upgrade to 7.10 was not in the list and when I
went back to the upgrade manager it was empty.

This is fresh new installation of 7.04. The only other packages that I
have installed are squid and bind9.

Must I just run the apt programs from the command line?

Before I do the upgrade I will install the nvidia driver.

Thanks,
Lee
