Okay, here's another quick experience-report...

Updated to Joyride-2225 with a USB thumbdrive, all worked very smoothly. 
Proceeded to follow instructions for software-update via SCP and this 
time things went well. The only thing that was slightly confusing is 
that some activities were updated twice, e.g. record was initially 
installed in v54, then updated to v55 and in the last go upped to v56.

One question I have with regard to the software-update / activities 
installation is how it's decided which of them are favourites so they 
show up in the ring-view by default?

Will also cross-post some of my other findings with the current joyride 
and latest activities combination to testing, sugar and devel as I 
stumbled across some issues that I haven't seen mentioned elsewhere.
