While the download from the location:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/daily-live/current/
was only available for a few days, I could not resist the temptation to give it a go and track its development. I was away interstate for 5 days when I first noticed the name Focal Fossa and the download being available.
After returning home from the University Reunion and visit to family and friends, I copied all the files from my 19.10 system onto another networked Laptop before doing the install.
The install went well with the 2.1 GB focal-desktop-amd64.iso, however the Laptop I had, had Windows 7 installed which had been removed. I overlooked deleting the 100 MB Dos partition. The end result was that Focal booted to the Grub prompt. The quickest solution was to do the install again and delete the Dos partition.
Because it is soon after the release of Eoan, one can expect some teething problems. One problem that I have not been able to resolve is that: Muon > Settings > Configure Software Sources, only does an update of the software sources. It does not give options to change preferences or add other repositories.
If I use the command line to add a repository, I get the following:
At this stage the Info Centre is similar to what I have for Eoan with the exception of the Kernel Version. So I eagerly look forward to the progress by the developers over the coming months

For all practical purposes the app being used appears to be hung, so one has to be patient.
