Again, FYI -

There does seem to be something odd about this kernel package.  I changed 
my source to Warwick, and started the install afresh.  As before the 
download completed and install started - but as it neared the end of the 
progress box gurpmi again crashed and had to be killed.  This time, 
though, it had created the entries in /boot and changed lilo.conf.

I've rebooted.  The first attempt had problems with installing dkms/nvidia, 
but then it was OK the second time, so here I am using it.  I'm concerned, 
though about gurpmi crashing.  FWIW I have used it to install a couple of 
other packages between my attempts with the kernel, and they completed 
correctly, which suggests that it's not a broken gurpmi.

Aside - the update to hal, dev and kernel have cured my camera woes.  It 
now mounts correctly.
