      Have 1.2.3 full (with embedded kernel) running on ALIX 2C3.
      Can I just download the full update and run it?

      Current network "hardware" :
      Running 2.2RC in Virtualbox 4.2.16.

      Retired:
      ALIX2C2 , 4 gigabyte disk cf card running 2.0 (official release).

        No, you must download the nanobsd update image of the correct size for your CF.

        cat /etc/nanosize.txt to confirm the image size and then choose the upgrade image with the same number.

        So if that says "2g" then get the nanobsd 2g upgrade image.

          I have a 4 gig industrial (3 million writes) cf card.
          The file you mentioned doesn't exist as I currently have the full version.

            Ah, yeah I see that now.. read it too fast before. I see "ALIX" and my brain instantly goes to nanobsd.

            If that is the case then yes, if you have the full install now, the full upgrade will do it.
