-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 timeand 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 bootloaderThis 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 0.7.5and 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 Orusing 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)
