"hiddenmenu" was there - I commented it out and rebooted, but still no 1878 
offered - I tried manually editing the boot lines to change to 1878, but that 
didn't work, for reasons I didn't investigate, yet - so I still booted into 
1826

I've changed the setting in installonlyn.conf to enabled=0 (it was set to 1)
Should I presume that this setting will affect the next time I update, but 
should have no effect on present circumstances?
