    I have a Jaunty-beta which I got early when just available on my 
laptop. I have been updating my lists of available Jaunty upgrade 
packages, and I have every package installed on my system. Right now if 
I do a check it says my laptop is up to date, and now that means up to 
date with the real Jaunty CD's you can download now.
