How do I know if the gnome upgrade script is running properly?

[freebsduser at comcast.net]

I am currently on stage 4 of 5 of the gnome upgrade script and the only thing I get is that it will take a long time.

No other indications. I check with top and it shows actvity with cc1 and a fiew other items but no output is sent to the terminal session and occasionally the HD LED blinks but that's about it.

Is there something to be worried about?

Thanks.
