5.Click Bugfixes and Normal Updates to add these two update groups toyour selections. 6.Click All to choose everything you can update. You may be told that some packages can t be updated due to depen- dency issues. That s fine; just leave them for now. 7.Click Install to proceed. A progress dialog box shows you how far you are with each selectedpackage. 8.When the update is complete, click OK to close the notification dialogbox and then Quit to close the updater. Sometimes this process can be slow, freeze up, or be a bit of a pain, depend- ing on how many people are trying to do it at the same time. If you have problems, cancel out of the update and restart it (though first give it a fewminutes to see whether the program unfreezes on its own). You also maywant to try a different update source, even one in another country, if you continually have problems with a specific one. If the update didn t succeed, you re offered the chance to select one again if you start over from Step 1.
