But once you've done that, the only way to update is to reflash it via tftpboot and the manual instructions posted on the wiki page. Also - I see you've built it as root. You very explicitly do not have to build it as root. You can build it as user - just make /tftpboot writable by you. (I'm going to soon shuffle it so it doesn't land in /tftpboot but in ../images or something, so it's 100% kept inside the build directory. I do 100% of my image building as user 'adrian' nowdays. It makes the foot shooting possibilities much less risky. -adrian
