You may be correct, maybe I should have waited longer, but all the line 
verbose and percentage vanished leaving the frames etc,  hence causing 
the confusion until a static screen of
empty brackets or frames etc was leftover, with no sigh of activity. i 
am emailing from FC21 RC4 now , which I am building back up from backups 
etc.

I hope I can just install the appropriate release to sync the repo's 
with the FC21 final release, when the time comes. I am enjoying FC21 so 
far and appreciate all the hard work done.
