I just don't have the patience any more to fool around with things which don't work properly straight away.
I installed fou4s as I said I would, "fired it up", it took about 1 minute to download the lists of all the patches, and then in about 20 minutes I had my V8.2 updated - and all this on a 56K dial-up modem.
YOU - no thanks.
I used YOU when I was running v8.0 and was happy with it. But why should I hit my head against the brick wall when there is a perfectly good and more efficient substitute for YOU? Installs in 5 seconds, and it doesn't take long to initially type 2 commands on the command line: (1) fou4s - u --checkfou4s, and after the lists of any new patches are downloaded, (2) fou4s -i to download and install the patches themselves. What else can a body want? :-)
Sounds good. I"m more or less like you. I make it work and I don't mess with it unless I have to. I used to tinker a lot, but now I just don't have the patience any more. My only questions would be who wrote it and can I trust it? I guess I can do the research if I decide to try it. After all the discussion in this thread about possible trojans and downloading from a reliable source, you can imagine that this isn't something I would just jump into. But I'll check it out. Thanks for the info. J
