    I have an athlon barton core on an epox 8rda3i. I have never seen this
    problem and I cvsup every few weeks on current. I have not done a clean
    install since last year. Is that a local ftp or the net? Can you make
    a cd from the iso, or do you not want to? I have done both in the past
    and the cd is much faster, even if you hae broad band. Maybe not if you
    have a t3 or better, but not all ftp servers will be fast all the time.
