Yes, that's absolutely correct.

Fair comment.

As far as the install goes, it's pretty much the same as it was in 359.1 but some of the wording has changed slightly. However, the initial step-by-step process has changed *dramatically*.

Out of the 17 "CONS", there's now only 4 which are still valid and I can think of at least one addition to the "PROS" :-)
