[arm-allstar] Upgrading without the menu?

[Doug Crompton]

Buddy,

 One thing that is always the case is that when you enter the ADMIN menu
you are always at item number 1 which is the update. So if you enter the
menu and hit return twice it will always attempt an update.

If you want to do it from the command line the line should read -

/usr/local/hamvoip-pacman/bin/pacman --force --noconfirm --yes -Syu

Also keep in mind that updates don't happen daily (like windows!) and they
will be announced on the arm-allstar email list.
