| 7 | 8 | brfransen | *DO NOT USE pacman-Syu to update!* |
| 8 | 7 | brfransen | Due to consolidating /bin, /sbin, /usr/sbin, to /usr/bin upgrading to R8.2 is more involved than the normal pacman -Syu. The update81-82.sh script will assist in updating LinHES. As always make sure you have a good [[Backup and Restore|backup]]. |

| 10 | 4 | brfransen | From a xterm: |
| 11 | 7 | brfransen | @curl -o update81-82.sh http://cgit.linhes.org/linhes_pkgbuild/plain/abs/core/update81-82.sh@ |
| 12 | 5 | brfransen | @sudo sh ./update81-82.sh@ |
| 13 | 4 | brfransen | |
| 14 | 4 | brfransen | There is no backout plan or partial update, once started the upgrade needs to complete or the system may not boot correctly. |
| 15 | 1 | The largest stumbling block that will cause the update to fail are non-LinHES packages that have been installed. Please uninstall the non-LinHES, update to R8.2 and then re-install the 3rd party packages. |

| 17 | 6 | brfransen | If problems are encountered and the script quits before the update is complete its OK to run update81-82.sh multiple times. |
