Yes I am, that's how I can see the progress. Ah!!! Nevermind, there
WAS a prompt but it was hidden behind the Windows Update IE window.

It may be asking something and waiting for an answer ;)

I've installed many service packs, but never this particular one and
this just doesn't seem right. I'm using RDP to install SP2 and it
completed downloading and started installing approximately 3 hours
ago and the progress bar is maybe 15% of the way done. It does
seem
to still be running.

This is a brand new clean Server 2003 install, the very first thing
I
did after installing was run Windows Update. This is on a Dell
PowerEdge 2850 with 4gig of memory and a 15K SCSI drive.

Any ideas or is this actually "normal"?
