Maybe it is a bug.
I have seen such behavior in Ktorrent-2.2.5 and 3.1.2.
The former has tabbed windows for downloads and uploads.
After download of a file finishes, it moves to the upload window. Here
manual data integrity checks may cause the download to move back and
get corrected. Once I skipped the final manual check and got a bad
Suse iso (corrected it with ktorrent again, only after k3b
complained).

Comment:
Recommend change in first paragraph, third sentence from
'''"The installation system is flexible enough to use even if you have no
previous knowledge of Linux or computer networks."'''
to
'''"The installation system is easy to use even if you lack previous
knowledge of Linux or computer networks."'''
Explanation: Sentence's position in the middle of the paragraph is not
great for such a lengthy sentence when the message is simple "This is
easy, even for novices." Removing just those two words makes the sentence
more succinct and easy to understand for the reader.

This looks up to date.
I have not fact checked the tip about livecd based installation skipping
first boot. (I haven't done a F10 LiveCD-based install)

Comment:
stripped firewall, soundcard, selinux that were already commented out.
Firstboot has slightly changed the order, to put create users in front of
date and time. I changed the order of existing content. I believe the rest
is correct, but would welcome others to fact check the chapter.
