 ====== RUNNIX ======
-The AstLinux **[[system-config#unionfs|bootloader]]**, RUNNIX, has been updated to runnix-0.3.1 ((previously runnix-0.2.1)). This is considered an 'optional' upgrade at this time, and AstLinux 0.7.5 does not require runnix-0.3.1.\\
+It is very important to understand that while AstLinux 0.7.x uses the runnix-0.3 (or runnix-0.2.1) bootloader, AstLinux 1.0.x requires the runnix-0.4 bootloader. This change is required since the Linux Kernel differences require different squashfs image formats.
-If you currently have problems booting with a SATA drive, or just want the latest features, after you upgrade to 0.7.5, and with internet connectivity, you may upgrade RUNNIX from the CLI by typing:
+The Web Interface may be used to upgrade RUNNIX via the System Tab.  Or, using the Command Line Interface:
   $ upgrade-RUNNIX-image check     (if the response looks good, then type)

 ==== Tips ====
   * You can hit '''SPACE''' at the ''boot:'' prompt and it will wait without registering any keystrokes.  (ie, ''boot:'' prompt appears, hit '''SPACE''', play with the box, come back and type '''ssh RETURN'''.)
-  * You __cannot stop__ a normal '''ping''' command at the console, because the '''ctrl-c''' to stop it, won't work in this case ('''ping -c4 ...''' and ping over ssh will work fine).
+  * You __cannot stop__ a normal '''ping''' command at the console, because the '''ctrl-c''' to stop it, won't work in this case ('''ping -c4 <IP>''' and ping over ssh will work fine).
   * You can use disk repair commands like '''dosfsck''' or '''e2fsck''' in RUNNIX (use '''fdisk -l''' before to show the partitions/volumes).
   * For __non-serial__ consoles (i586/VIA) you can now use an alternate **[[userdoc:tt_console-kmap|keyboard mapping]]**.
-  * For ssh to work, you may need to edit the network settings in '''/oldroot/cdrom/os/default.conf''' accordingly (''SSHPORT="2222"'' is a new variable since 0.3.0 and will be not exist, when you upgrade, if not found 2222 is the default ssh port and '''eth0''' the default NIC).
+  * For ssh to work, you may need to edit the network settings in '''/oldroot/cdrom/os/default.conf''' accordingly (''SSHPORT="2222"'' is a new variable since 0.3.0 and will not exist, when you upgrade)
+  * By default (if not defined) the network variables are:
+    * NIC = eth0
+    * IP = DHCP
+    * ssh port = 2222.
   * To reboot from the console you need to type '''exit''' or '''reboot -f'''. In ssh '''reboot -f''' also works.
+  * You'll find the stuff that's normally in ''/oldroot/cdrom/'' now in ''/mnt/base/''
