| 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) | $ upgrade-RUNNIX-image check (if the response looks good, then type) |

| * You can hit '''SPACE''' at the ''boot:'' prompt and it will wait without registering any keystrokes.

| * 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). |

| * 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, 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. | * To reboot from the console you need to type '''exit''' or '''reboot -f'''. In ssh '''reboot -f''' also works. |
