Hi Dave,

the computer was connected to the internet. i could download other
packages and install them. the only problem was that the mscorefonts
installer could not reach te server (what a saw in the terminal). The
installation tried serveral times to contect to te sourceforge server.
After a few minutes it stopped en started the installation of other
packages. Thisproblem happens every time i intsalled a application of
(1) partial upgrade. For now i removed 9.10 from my computer so i cant
reproduce it again. i wil install it again, if i have problems i will
let you know.

Best regards,

Vincent
