I have been assuming that:

pacman is used to install system (root) packages since you need to login to root.

Also, I have been assuming that:

discover updates and installs user files since you don't login to root for discover.

Thus, I have been using both.  If that is wrong or not needed, let me know.

thanks,      tom kosvic
