I can now answer my own question - no - the embedded image download from the mirrors does not get updated with the latest fix/patch.
I've just been through a process of updating on a wrap and the easy way was to upload the update_to_rc2x.sh shell scripts using the web interface and then using the serial console to run these files. My experience was that attempting to run the shell scripts using the command prompt on the diagnostics menu was no good even once I had worked out that the command should be sh /tmp/update_to_rc2x.sh - just got no response. So my question is - can I get a shell remotely that will run these scripts or does it have to be through the serial console (i.e. am I missing something?) Reason being is that I want to deploy a few wraps in other cities and want to assure myself that I can patch them remotely. ---------------------------------- Craig Silva. IT Manager.

You need to do that in alphabetical order (a,b,c,..) as these are incremental updates (don't worrys, it will check for the installed version; you can't destroy anything). These patches work for embedded and full installs as well.

Just a quick question about the RC2a,b,c,d,e.tgz files ... should we be applying these to an existing RC2 install, and if so what is the preferred method of applying these patches? -- David L.
