Ah okay, I thought something else that I missed :D hehe.

Oh wait, but I have never seen this yet? I am updating my system daily 
but nothing there ... weird ...

Do I have to do clean new installation? did we fix the daily images or 
not yet? I checked the emails before I reply and there is nothing about 
the daily images.
