You needed to use the -p option which would get packages if it can. If 
you upgrade early, you need a cpu with considerable power. The problem 
is being patient long enough :).

I have an AMD 2400+ XP and it had to build the gnome stuff and the new 
release of kde-3.4.3. It took a while :). However, I had packages on 
it, that I could move to my other 5.4 computers, long before they had 
packages on Marcus' tinderbox, which is where the gnome_upgrade.sh 
script, which came along about 10 Novermber, gets the gnome packages.
