Live DVD images are often too old, unfortunately. E.g. on the |
| 24 |
spring 2014 (when I had need for such fast install) the latest image |
| 25 |
was from Dec 2012. Updating 1 year ~5 month old installation |
| 26 |
afterwards is no fun. Right now dvd image is 11 month old, which is |
| 27 |
no good too. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
However, dvd images made no earlier than half a year ago from ~amd64 |
| 30 |
will be just fine for such needs. |
