Wiki: 'Upgrade 1.0 PirateBox' what about the previous files on the USB key ?

There are some things not obvious to me in the page: [piratebox.cc]

Can we use the same USB Key (with the old files and folders of PirateBox) for upgrading ?

Do we need to remove the folders 'external_fs' and 'install' ? if so, when ?

Yes, you during the upgrade, necessary files are overwritten. You can reuse the old USB stick for sure.

My recommendation is to remove the install folder before you copy over the new one. (replace not overwrite). external_fs should stay and is re-initialized during installation.

Thanks for putting so much love into the wiki!

It is recommended to delete the install.log file to have a proper fresh logfile if something goes wrong during the installation.
