Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
Not quite sure, but that looks like a "apt-get going to hell" in one fell-swoop... Am I correct in assuming that "after" I enter "Y" to the prompt, everything in heck is going to go everywhere, and nothing is going to go out on me after this????

Give me some confidence here, can I trust entering "Y" here, and be able to still have a working system after it "might" complete on me????

Thanks for everything guys,
Cuddles
