Hi

Can someone tell me how update efw?
For example i want to update EFW-1.1-rc7.

I can put the update with winSCP in my root folder.
EFW-update-rc7-rc8.tar.bz2

What are the next steps?
Can someone plz tell me how to install updates in command-line step by step?

thx in advance

I solved the problem by myself:

Copie the update to /tmp with the program WINscp is the eaysiest.
Make sure that you have enabled ssh access on the EFW (System -> SSH Access -> enabled)

Connect with putty to the EFW.
and go to the tmp map.

exectue the follow command: tar -jxvf EFW-update-rc7-rc8.tar.bz2
cd EFW-update-rc7-rc8
rpm –Uhv *.rpm

and then reboot.
that's it.
The data in the tmp map will be automatically deleted.

Does that upgrade all of your settings properly?

I'm wondering if I booted up with a live Linux CD and copied the update files to the Gateway to /home folder. Could I then run these .rpm files from the gateways shell option? I assume you can since you can log in as root but there's no help files on updating.
Could someone help me with this?
