Jaime, The official 0.6.1 image files are being verified by a few more people before they get uploaded to the sourceforge site. There is no direct upgrade path from 0.4.8 to 0.6.1. This is the suggested upgrade method: Backup your current keydisk to a separate media. (either a remote server or a thumb drive. Transfer the new 0.6.1 image to a cf card. The new image will write a 128MB vfat partition which contains the squashfs images and some configuration files (and a few other things). It's recommended to use a 256mb or larger CF card. It's hard to find anything new under 1GB these days so that shouldn't be an unreasonable requirement. Boot the system with the new image installed. Your default login/password is still root/astlinux. Here's where you have two options: 1). Remain with a separate key disk partition or device and add a unionfs partition (in which case you must create 2 partitions using fdisk , reboot, then run genunion and genkd specifying the appropriate partitions for each command). 2). Use only a unionfs partition that contains the /mnt/kd structure. (in which case you'd create one partition, reboot then run genunion to create the file system). If your key disk is currently on a separate device, you could go with option 1. If you currently have the keydisk and 0.4.8 image on the same device, I would opt for option 2. Note that Asterisk has changed from 1.2x to 1.4x so you'll want to verify which settings changed between 1.2 and 1.4. Also, there have been many updates/additions to the rc.conf file.
