There is a practical problem with opening the software-updater the 
first thing after a build install:  What if the initial __settings__ 
in that build are not compatible with the environment required to 
run the XO on which the install was performed?

For instance, I need to set some environmental variables before my 
XO's connection to the internet will work.  If the *first* thing 
that opens is software-updater, those variables have not yet been 
set -- and software-updater will never work for me without them.

Also, I've encountered difficulties if my XO 'suspends' while I am 
trying to download from the internet -- to run software-updater 
reliably on my system, would 'suspend' need to be inhibited first?
