Yes @jonathon obv that’s very true. However, when dozens and dozens of screens of output have just shot past you, it is rather difficult to read it - regardless of what you might want to do; think you ought to do; know you should do.
And that is assuming you know what you should be looking for - which of course someone new to the distro (especially) quite probably does not. Ditto someone who doesn’t have eons of time on their hands.
Hence me asking …
Maybe that is precisely why someone in another post i was reading, on this forum, was asking if there was a GUI. I suspect what he actually needed was a significantly easier way to see if it was safe
(reference to Marathon Man there)
