I think that Angstrom would have an updater program, I am not too worried

sooo.... the Pandora can be un-bricked if the NAND is corrupted by just sticking a valid system image on an SD card and holding some keys down as it boots
so, maybe you do any system update the same way with an UPDATED system image?, yes?
or just download via apt like you do with a full Linux distro
should be really easy IMO

Theres no reason why you can't ask the package manager to update the os image over Wifi, and it just downloads whats changed and applies it. You would have to manually run the updater program however, as has been stated by adamorjames, rather than it being completely automated. I fail to see how that is stupid though... I suppose we could do the same as Windows and say "I've automatically downloaded yet another security update. Unless you tell me not to, I'm going to install and reboot your PC shortly, regardless of what apps or unsaved data you have (and even if you tell me not to, I'll just popup the exact same message every 5 minutes until you let me. I'll catch you out, I promise.)".

This is how I've understood it as well. (although the package manager it may not necessarily be apt itself).hobbyman II said:

A planned feature for POND is pushing out firmware updates to the clients.

Squidge: Heh, I was hoping more for the ubuntu style "I'll let you know you need to reset, but you gotta click this button when you're ready", due to aforementioned catch...

if you guys would like to change vista's options on the updates, go to the start menu and in the search box type "gpedit.msc", then hit enter.
this is the Group Policy Object Editor.
go to "Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update"
have fun =`P

Says What?
RTFM, Angstrom doc says it's as easy as, 'ipkg upgrade'
