Re: RDi update

[Justin Taylor <jtaylor.0ab@xxxxxxxxx>]

FWIW, I've had firewalls blocking my updates for years, so I just download
and install from ZIP.  Just add the downloaded ZIP as an Archive under
Install New Software.  They aren't cumulative, so it's tedious with a fresh
9.8 install, but after that, it's not bad.
