Updates vs. Upgrades?
-
What's the difference between the "…1.2.3-1gb-nanobsd.upgrade.img.gz" and the "Full-Update-1.2.3.tgz". Is the "Full-Update" used for ".iso" updates? or will it also be used on the embedded installs. Can the "Full-Update-1.2.3.tgz" be used to update the Alix nanobsd slice? Which do I use to install an extra slice on an Alix.2d3? The term "updates" and "upgrades" are use interchangeably it seems.

AFAIK, the full update tarballs are used to update a full install image, not a nano install (which use the nanobsd.upgrade files.)
-
That is correct, the full-updates are for full installs and they update the existing files on the hard drive or storage media.
A nanobsd upgrade file is actually a complete OS slice image, not technically an update in the sense of the full update file.

Got it! Thank You! :D
