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?
