[SOLVED]setting up a swap file

it says:

Warning:
You are running:          dCore-jessie:2016.01.06.23.01
The latest release is:    dCore-jessie:2016.06.26.17.08


How do I upgrade that?

nitram:
Most dCore commands have help files:

--- Code: ---tc@box:~$ version --help
 
version - Confirm dCore version, check for release or release candidate (RC)
          updates, prompted to download an available update to the directory
          specified in /etc/sysconfig/boot_path. Review this file for details.
          The partition will auto-mount if /mnt/* is included in the pathway
          and the entry exists in /etc/fstab. The existing dCore*.gz and
          *.md5.txt files are automatically backed up before the update
          is downloaded. Number of backups kept can also be specified.
          Reboot system to complete the update.
 
Usage:
 
version     List running dCore name and version.
version -c  Check if running the latest stable release, if different version
            available prompted to download, wget latest stable release and
            md5.txt file to directory specified in /etc/sysconfig/boot_path.
version -r  Check if running the latest release candidate, if an update is
            available prompted to download, wget latest release candidate and
            md5.txt file to directory specified in /etc/sysconfig/boot_path.
version -l  List running dCore name and version.
version -s  See dCore version only.

Edit: Recommend one topic per thread, gets confusing. When possible resolve issues as they arise before moving on to the next item. In my experience, dCore is very good, just takes some time to figure out and optimize. You're trying to do everything at once, in time you should get a real nice system.

kevinfish:
sorry to keep posting on this thread, but perhaps I'm so out of date its not really relevant to the community.   My version --help says:


version - confirm dCore version. check for release & release candidate updates.

Usage:

'version'        print the running dCore name and version.
'version -c'     check if running the latest release.
'version -r'     check if running the latest release candidate (RC).
'version -l'     list running dCore name and version.
'version -s'     see dCore version.


Nothing about updating it.   Indeed, I tried version -c and version -r even with /etc/sysconfig/boot_path set correctly and it did nothing.

Should I just grab the latest dCore.gz and vmlinuz and overwrite the ones I have or does something else have to change too?

nitram:
Yes your system is quite out of date, the version command has been able to download updates for quite some time. Just manually download the dCore-*.gz file (http://tinycorelinux.net/dCore/x86/release_candidates/dCore-jessie/), replace the outdated version and reboot. Then run  sce-update -a  and patiently wait until all existing extensions are updated, reboot again and test system.

kevinfish:
Thanks, that worked!

There's no way to mark the initial thread "(SOLVED)" ???
