I do know of and use it, my problem was, I had 16.04.6 and the trip (via 
do-release-upgrade) to 20.04.2 would take a very long time on my very slow 
broadband, when I downloaded the 20.04.02 iso it took just short of 10 hours, 
(maybe many others were trying to get it at the same time) not to mention that 
if it gets stuck (or takes forever as the live usb seems to be doing) how will 
I know the difference between slow BB and a hang?

My way I "should" be able to bring a few of my capable boxes upto 20.04.2 in a 
reasonable time frame? (or so I thought)

For now I have got the problem 16.04.6 to 18.04.3 (I know it should be .5)
