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.

Go to the site http://fou4s.gaugusch.at and all will be revealed to you. In the download area there is the released version (v0.9.3.0) and the beta for the next update (0.9.90.0). Of course grab the release version (and when the next official release comes out fou4s will download it and install it on your system). Cheers. -- Computers are useless.
