If that's what it says, that's what you should do. Can I reword the text to make it more clear somehow?
The misunderstanding arises from my lack of knowledge on these processes. When the readme referred to upgrading I did not think that applied in my case because I was installing to a blank drive. I made a mistake in assuming the recent build image would simply install everything I wanted the first time around. Ironically the second time around Readme instructions fit perfectly as I then had a default kodi loaded. I got the build to open up with all of the additional features. I have a small list of things I will want to correct but I will go through this lengthy thread as I am confident everything has already been addressed. I will repost if I get stuck on anything.
Thanks for all the time and hard work I can see you have already poured into this build!
