Upgrading a system to a new version is easy.
[edit]
Testing the new system
If you don't want to overwrite the internal flash of the Linutop, you can install the system on an USB key and boot from it. To create a new key (you need to be connected to the internet):
- boot on the Linutop
- plug the USB key (1Go minimum)
- open a Terminal
- type the following command (this will erase the USB key!):
sudo lusm-web -d /dev/sda http://images.linutop.eu/current2 # for linutop2
or
sudo lusm-web -d /dev/sdb http://images.linutop.eu/current2 # for linutop1
- reboot with the new USB key plugged in.

Flashing the hard drive
The solutions proposed here will erase the internal memory; backup your data first.
To flash the internal memory, you need to boot on an USB key (see previous paragraph). On the booted system you have to solutions:
- If the system on which you have booted is the one you want to install, you can use the Linutop backup tool (available in the 'System' menu). The internal memory is represented by '/dev/hda'.
- If the system is not the one you want to install, you can use the following command in a Terminal (beeing connected to the internet):
sudo lusm-web -d /dev/hda http://images.linutop.eu/current2
