	You can see the results of an update process (before rebooting, which 
effectively clears the logs) by using #9 BASH shell menu option and then 
viewing the contents of the log using the NANO editor:
	nano /var/log/pacman.log

	You should see something similar to these kinds of lines:
[2018-12-11 22:24] [PACMAN] Running 
'/usr/local/hamvoip-pacman/bin/pacman --for$
[2018-12-11 22:24] [PACMAN] synchronizing package lists
[2018-12-11 22:24] [PACMAN] starting full system upgrade
[2018-12-11 22:24] [ALPM] transaction started
[2018-12-11 22:24] [ALPM] upgraded hamvoip-misc-scripts (0.2-13 -> 0.2-14)
[2018-12-11 22:24] [ALPM] transaction completed

	Remember to CTRL-X to exit from NANO, then type "exit" to return to 
menu. You can also use other non-editor ways to display the file 
contents from BASH:
	cat /var/log/pacman.log
	less /var/log/pacman.log

	Just remember that the contents of the logs are kept in RAM (not on the 
card) so they "evaporate" on any reboot/power-cycle.

	HTH,
