Hi I have no understanding of what a Partial upgrade is and if I need it. I did the partial upgrade on a previous install of ubuntu that I had on my notebook but things got too slow. I am not sure if I was pushing it with the system specs...I dunno what a partial upgrade does?
I went back to Ubuntu 7 because it was too slow and now after doing update/upgrade it is asking if I want to install the partial upgrade again. I tried via the terminal this time and this is what I am getting:

Ultimately I don't want things to slow down like they did before. The cpu on this machine is 660mhz and the ram is 256mb.
I did google this time and last time but really don't quite understand.
