Thanks guys
I was not aware of that doco to convert to a vm board type. Excellent I will do
this and then it should all work.
Lonnie I have been using a Private Repository for years now and have never had
a problem. The main reason for using it was purely to determine the 'Current'
release for my systems and the ability to upgrade(or downgrade) to any version
I want by appending the version directory to the repository URL. I just copy in
the upgrade files from the official Astlinux Repository.
I would be happy to use the Astlinux repository if I could do the above.

Michael Knill

+1 and for completeness I'll add this link:
Create a Private Repository

Michael (Knill), you mentioned you are not building your own images (yet),
so that begs the question ... how are you generating custom images for your
private repository ?
Lonnie
