An good/interesting article Ernie,
To be honest, I didn't go to so much effort. I just downloade the CE iso's and md5sum (though for some reason, I tried one of the dutch mirror's twice and it gave me an identical incorrect md5sum on both occasions, for disc 1, so in the end, I downloaded it from a french mirror with no prob's). I just burned and installed (I actually selected update of 9.1, but it just did a complete install).
And thusfar, I've had no problems at all other than some of the updates gave me bad signature warnings than wouldn't install. This has obviously been corrected, because I got all the current ones installed this morning. The numbering thing you mentioned in your article is still there, I'm guessing, but it looks like it's counting 2 for 1, like when you select 1 update, it appears to think that the download is one part, and the install of the update the second part - as you say, cosmetic.
I know this is a bit of a liberty, but maybe you could have a look at
this because bugs are something I know absolutely nothing about. I've no way of telling if I've spotted my first bug or not.
But as I said at the start, a good and interesting article.
Keep it up. The more stuff like that, the better.
regards
John
