apt upgrade == apt-get upgrade --install-new-pkgs + some fancy styles in progress
One can do several things with the iso: Burning it to a DVD or use dd to put it on a stick - it doesn't matter, it is a hybrid iso.
@et al:
As I posted in the #siduction, but didn't have time to wait for any replies to it . . . thanks to the fast response to my earlier request on the chat line for the latest spin . . . I did just "burn it to dvd" which is "easier" getting a bootable file for installation set up in OSX . . . ran the install, and all seemed to go well with it. Only "issues" to report on is a problem I reported a few years back in "ubuntu" flavors, possibly 14.04 . . . with a "non-response" to key stroke on "eject" key . . . to eject said dvd . . . seems to still be "around" . . . not a major complaint these days, since most players seem to be using usb stick as the install media . . . . And, along those same lines, mousing on the "eject" button next to "mounted external devices" . . . does "work" to eject the dvd/optical drive drawer, but it opens and closes within a second . . . I had to stand up, get next to the drive door . . . click the button . . . use all my spidey skills to grab the dvd as the drawer was . . . disappearing . . . . Cranky old guy doesn't appreciate having to do anything "fast" or requiring manual dexterity . . . . : - (((
But, thanks for the fast replies on the chat channel . . . OSX would not open the checksum & manifest files, but running the install without them . . . seemed to be clean . . . . On the chat yesterday I was now "sidereal1" . . . but via the Siduction IRC links it wasn't showing any other conversations that might have been going on . . . unlike the previous day, my "post" didn't elicit any reply . . . so I'm posting it here.
I'm now a "siducer" . . . we'll see if that is "semi-permanent" . . . or "flash in the linux pan"
