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?
