From: Ricky Hunt on 1 Jan 2010 02:04 I can't tell from the language on the download page what exactly it means. It says you can install 8.5.2 to 8.5 or 8.5.1. Does this mean if you install 8.5.2 you don't have to install 8.5.1 (meaning 8.5.1 is included in 8.5.2) or do you have to install 8.5.1 also? This is the first time I recall doing an update that has this option. -- Thanks, Ricky Hunt

I just installed the 8.5, then 8.5.2 and it's fine. -- =========== John Braner jbraner(a)NOblueyonderSPAM.co.uk http://cdbaby.com/cd/JohnBraner http://www.soundclick.com/johnbraner

From: Sue Morton on 2 Jan 2010 02:27 Sonar updates have always looked like lazy programming to me... It's far simpler to write a patch that only updates one revision :-) -- Sue Morton "Russ B" <ElmSTUPIDITYertfudd(a)yahoo.com> wrote in message news:Xns9CF3ABCAF8658notverybrightguy(a)198.186.192.200... > I would think that was to limit the size of the downloads like back in the > dial-up days.

Makes a great case for taking an OS image before installing anything Sonar :-) -- Sue Morton "Glennbo" <vdrumsYourHeadFromYourAss(a)cox.net> wrote in message news:Xns9CF467D3C8457BrownShoesDontMakeIt(a)69.16.185.250... > In news:hhmsi2$9rl$1(a)appyface.eternal-september.org the killer robot > "Sue Morton" <867-5309(a)domain.invalid> grabbed the controls of the > spaceship cakewalk.audio and pressed these buttons... > >> Sonar updates have always looked like lazy programming to me...
