Updating the Live CD

How to update your Pyramid Live CD to install the latest image when the live CD hasn't been updated, or you don't want to re-download the whole thing.

All tasks take place on the PC running the live CD while the Live CD is running. If you reboot, you loose everything and need to start over.

  • Go to /var/www
  • Download the latest version (currently b5) with "wget http://dl.metrix.net/support/dist/pyramid-1.0b5.img.gz"
  • Extract the .img file (needs update, I used winzip on my windows box then pulled it form there)
  • Edit /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default.menu
  • Change the 2nd line after "label 1" to read "pyramid-1.0b5.img" instead of "pyramid-1.0b4.img" or whatever it was before
  • Edit /tftpboot/display.msg to reflect item 1 being b5 instead of b4 (optional step really)

Note: You'll need to re-do everything any time you reboot the PC running the live CD
