+The script downloads both the full size and the minimal versions of the AppIamge, and sets symbolic links to these files.

+The full version takes a noticeable time to load, and runs slightly slower than a normal packaged release.
+The above script has the option ```--extract``` which extracts the contents of the full size AppImage to a local sub-directory.
+If the executable is run from there the loading and run time is the same as for a packaged release.
