[Phillip Whiteside <PhillW@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It may look very 'pretty' on the wiki page (I am new to editing wiki pages
and did not want to be over verbose and clutter it up).

I currently advise people of the wiki link and also
http://forum.phillw.net/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=54#p73 if they want a bit more
information.

Either way, it is only until Lubuntu gets an update system by default.

Regards,

Phill.
