That could have been a corrupt image or the USB/CD/DVD that wasn't written to or couldn't be read from properly, but when you said that version broke the driver I thought you meant it installed fully. > I think when I get back home tonight I will disable updates just in case. That isn't a good strategy when there is bugs that get a high CVE score, especially if the severity is up around 10. Setting hold on packages is less risky as only those packages won't update.
