The up-and-down arrows say to me, "transfer" or "sync". The current "update
manager" icon in Human looks very illustrative of refreshing and renewing
the packages to me, in that it shows the cyclical arrow. I think that your
current cyclical arrow on the CD looks good like that as well. However, the
"transfer/sync" on your attached photo doesn't do it for me, as those arrows
have already been used by others before for non-update purposes.

Yes, now that you mention it I can see that. Perhaps arrows showing how the
box opens would be feasible, like on unpacking instructions? It seems to me
that if the metaphor is that software comes in a box, then opening the box
and taking the software out is analogous to installation and thus is the
ideal illustration of the process!

I don't think I do. Is it a jokev ? o.o
