do nothing quickly. It seems that is not always the case.
does setup explore McShield and McAfee? Incidentally note the switch
-m. Without it, checking sha1sum's I guess provides some kind of
protection, but it's incredibly time-consuming and seems quite
unnecessarily to cover much more than the files downloaded, even the
entire resource? In the presumably very rare event of a broken
download, could the update not more simply just abort?
--local-install could indeed use some improvement.
