The 'astup' mechanism is changing. It no longer tries to replace files piecemeal, but will download and install new image files into the 'os' directory of your runnix device. The repository is not yet configured so to use this now, you'll need to have your own repository. We hope to have that resolved shortly. The latest version of the web interface will allow you to upgrade the image file directly from that interface too.
