Problems with apt-get upgrading 2.1 to 2.2 and beyond...(long)

I've been trying for a few days to get apt-get to properly upgrade my 
2.1 install to 2.2. I dl'd Dan Burcaw's apt RPM and it seems to be 
working.  I got it to d/l all but 17 MB of the package. Here's what I 
get when trying to pickup the upgrade:

*note - I can see that I might have use for whois & tcl, but I know I'll 
have no use for cdrecord, tetex and gnome-games, as this will be a 
server! Is there any way I can have it ignore those?

Ok, so I get to here, and then:

And this is where it lays... I get no farther. I'm hesitant to upgrade 
the kernel if the process isn't completed.

Is there anything I can do to help it along? Is it safe to upgrade the 
kernel at this point?

Thanks,
