    Hi there
    question for @Brink

    Will previous edition "Update" or should I download this one and re-install from scratch

    Note one issue I had with the previous release was that I couldn't install openssh-server from the install optional features -- I really need that in a server -- Not sure if you've had time to test it yet.

    Thanks

    Update -- appears I have to install again from scratch -- trying on a VM

    Ah well not so difficult -- setting it up for use as a "Workstation" -- quite fun doing that. !!

    Cheers
