This is not a trivial question :-). In theory both approaches give you the same result. If the updates are very big, opkg is likely to not succeed (especially if you are not using a swap file, as it will download ALL packages to be updated to /tmp which is a tmpfs on the FR, so some random process are likely to crash etc...). I do try to update first, and only when things go horribly wrong, I reflash. In any case, backing up your contacts etc is recommended.... I don't think there was any big change since January in shr-testing though. I plan to merge in current shr-unstable soon though and give it a test run as a new shr-t candidate. spaetz _______________________________________________ Shr-User mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shr-project.org/mailman/listinfo/shr-user
