CentOS - Aug 2007 - Add software is hung in Updating Software stage

I am looking via the console, and add software is hung.  Saying: 
Updating Sound-Juicer

Can't ping the box.

I had selected a lot of packages to install (I did a minimal server 
install initially).

Obviously I have to reboot.  Question is how do I recover from this?

Hung in starting HAL.  I think I have a reinstall ahead of me....

:(
