Hi Robbie,
I know it's not really necessary, but I always like to have the most up-to-date Arch live on my toolbox USB stick. Is there a recommended way to update an existing USB install medium (without overwriting other files?), or should I just follow the steps at [1], and update the syslinux configs each time?

don't know if there is a recommended way but I did just that this weekend. 1. Mount iso and copy the arch,EFI and loader directory (it worked but maybe I should delete destinations directories first to avoid conflicts with old files not updated) 2. I have reexecuted extlinux install (possibly optionnal but I have played it safe) 3. You can skip the copy of the 440 bytes MBR bootstrap code. Updating files have no impact on it. 4. Modify 3 cfg files in /arch/boot/syslinux and /loader/entries to replace archisolabel with archisodevice That is all there is to do to update your usb key. ________________________________ CONFIDENTIALITY : This e-mail and any attachments are confidential and may be privileged.
