[Rustington] RPi apt-get-update

[Martin Webb]

*
*
*You should be able to find the version in HWinfo / System Profiler and
Benchmark..............*
*
*
*Regards correct procedure it is:*
*
*
*Command Prompt type;*
*
*
*sudo su  and press enter key*
*
*
*apt-get update  press enter key*
*
*
*apt-get upgrade  press enter key and follow prompts*
*
*
*..theoretically this should update Raspbian to the latest release without
a re-install, but I have had issues, therefore undertook a full fresh
install.*
*
*
*Also it should be noted that since September Raspbian has been based off
Debian Wheezy 7 Hard Float, prior to then it was Debian Wheezt Soft Float
(Armel), they are incompatible.*
*
*
*My advice is to all the Pi men to undertake a fresh install and overclock
to Turbo mode and a 128/128 memory split, which is covered in links in my
Blog*
