Hi Jerry,

As per my post no immediate updates were available after install from live usb. (2.8 is installed on another drive)

I found this very unusual.

@Jocklad, I ran updates, built and tested the ISO on the same day. Fast machine makes me way more productive

Have just booted up the laptop with 2.8 installed.

It is updating now 
..................................................

That did it.........Full install complete.

will give it a good run later.

Installed and running for the last several hours, I restarted the system a few times, installed updates, and several programs, virtualbox included.
Virtual machine works fine, the install of virtual box still doesn't provide the gui, which could be problematic for new users. No issues to report, everything so far works as expected.

...the install of virtual box still doesn't provide the gui, which could be problematic for new users.

Can you please elaborate?

[avj]

I installed virtual box from Lite Software, but it didn't show up in the menu until I installed the virtualbox-qt package from synaptic.

Can you please provide more details, 32bit or 64bit?

[avj]

sorry, 32bit.
