   You and Tom Shelton, both desperately trying to weasel your way out of   
   simple facts.

   The installation of the files IS the update. I wasn’t counting the time it   
   takes to download the files—Windows users seem to think it’s quite an   
   achievement their system can do that while the user is working away on   
   something else at the same time, but in the Linux world we take multitasking   
   for granted.

   Talking about moving the goalposts, now you’re conceding my point while   
   pretending you’re not.
