I'd like to take the credit, but once I found a "Good" tool and instructions it 
was easy, until then it was a nightmare, and not worth the effort

OK it still has a hicup or two on the last two boxies, I may have missed 
something (hardware wise) but since I installed many of my post install goodies 
I'm loath to start over, I could make a version that will work on just (maybe) 
the last twoo boxies, but I spend more thought on keeping them running and/or 
upgrading the Ubuntu and other *Nix flavours now 32bit support (even as an 
upgrade) has gone on many

once you use it "all updates" must come through it, I've not looked deeply yet
