When one has seen the problems from experience, it might be true, for
whatever reasons - known or unknown or to be known. Definitely some
issue(s) might have happened (with regard to wifi) and then only from
experience Ric might have suggested. Further indication is that "is
reported to be completely successful" which clearly says most people might
have been successful when they installed from Live session but again it was
heard by the author of that sentence. So thanks, for this might be true.

The same here and I need to do wipe out completely that! You confirmed that
default installation for a novice is best to be opted out.

Thanks.
