| Something odd - Linux Lite v2.6 download burns v2.4 Live CD |

I'm still a novice in the world of Linux, so I am still exploring and experimenting. I had tried out Linux Lite 2.2 some time back, and I thought I'd take a look at the latest version - 2.6.
I have more than one laptop.... so I usually run trial distros either from a live CD (actually, a DVD as the .iso is too big for a CD) or from a YUMI multiboot USB stick.
Something weird happened with Lite 2.6. I downloaded and saved the .iso (clearly listed as Lite 2.6, 64-bit version) successfully from the nearest "mirror" site. I then installed it on my USB stick using YUMI (as I have done before, and with other distros). All worked well. I booted into Lite 2.6 from the stick, and it runs perfectly.
I thought I might as well burn a DVD too, so that I have that alternative way of running a Live session. I did so - from the same .iso. The odd thing was - when I booted up from that DVD, it launched as Lite 2.4! No sign of the latest 2.6 features (such as the Control Centre). And when I ran Lite 2.6 from the USB stick, and then inserted my DVD to check what was on it, the label, and the properties, say "Linux Lite 2.4 64 bit".
Obviously that's not an immediate problem, as I'm only running trial sessions. But if or when I want to install v 2.6, I clearly can't do so from this LiveDVD. Perhaps I could install v2.4 and then upgrade, but it would be nicer to have v2.6 straight off the bat
I just wondered why - if the downloaded .iso was clearly Lite 2.6 - the LiveDVD I burned is version 2.4?

I installed VirtualBox from the Oracle website, and it looks like it removed the gksudo program. Fairly new to Linux, and didn't know that one app could remove another at install...
How can I get it back so that the update, system report, and other LinuxLite features work again?
