Hi again, sorry about the frames, I forgot to change the webmail config. Hope 
it is OK now.

As "experimenting is a mother of knowledge", I tried my update idea and 
everything worked and works.

A USB disk with hdd-usb image written on it creates a FAT32 partition in which 
/live folder contains filesystem.squashfs file (and others). So I'm overwriting 
one file with its newer version extracted from newer hdd-usb image. No syslinux 
problems, no re-config needed, it's the same file, just newer.

Well, almost. I'm quite new to Linux and the aim is to play, try things, and 
learn. First I tried VirtualBox on Windows with Ubuntu inside, didn't like it, 
so I switched to Debian. Next step was to try Debian on real hardware, hence 
the live-USB idea (the USB disk is also a great recovery tool, I have other 
tools there, like UBCD4Win). Probably next step will be a dual-boot PC, but not 
yet. Debian-live boots surprisingly fast from my USB flash disk.

All the best for Easter!
