I'm now running it from a Ubuntu Terminal prompt. I stopped trying the update process from a while because of Xmas things, I will go back to it next week.

It stopped drainning as soon as I turned off 3G. It was trying to download a book ("The Idiot", by Dostoyevsky, and the idiot was me for trying to download it). Now anytime I turn on the 3G, it keeps trying to DL the book and drain the battery very quick. If I turn off 3G, battery lasts weeks.

I will try it again after Xmas. Thanks for your help!

By the way, Happy Christmas for everybody!
If you don't believe in Xmas, my wishes for better days anyway.
