Update Instructions #7

Closed borger closed 1 year ago

borger commented 1 year ago

Your Issue:

I would like to have the instructions on the recommended steps to perform an update. e.g. I've installed from version 4.1.3 and I want to update it to 4.1.4 HotFix. What's the update steps without losing my home/configs? Should I use the newest ISO? Run a command on the installed OS?

When you install a new iso it does give you the option to preserve your home I think (from memory anyway), but there probably is a better way to update as well

If the installer detects a valid HoloISO home partition on the drive you selected to install to, it will ask you if you want to keep/reuse it.
No data loss occurs then. Only the packages you installed via "pacman" from the terminal gets lost (but not its configuration or user data).
Currently i only applied my changes to the ISO directly, so you'd have to always download the newest ISO to get my changes; planning on changing this.
Will update the readme accordingly in about 2 weeks (currently on holiday).
