Update completed. Top shows that 504K of swap space was used. Thus it
appears that to do a opkg update/upgrade one must create a swap
partition/file. This implies that a upgrade can only be done by booting off
of a sd card.
That said... what was odd was that I did a successful update when I
I figured it out - my BBB is always trying to boot from the SB card, if one
is installed, and I didn't copy a correct bootable image on the card. I
used dd to copy the latest image and it booted fine. Thanks!

I'm running
Angstrom-Cloud9-IDE-GNOME-eglibc-ipk-v2012.12-beaglebone-2013.08.21.img on
a Kingston 16G sd card.
I can ssh into the BBB as root, created a new user, changed time zone,
etc. Seems to working okay... until I try to do the first big update!
Logged in as roon vi ssh, run opkg
Can I do so via the USB cable, or do I need a 'real' serial cable? Can you
point me to instructions as I haven't done that before?
Thanks,
Randy

Howdy,
I've been using on board Angstrom on my tethered BBB; rsh and can compile,
set date, etc. Attached ethernet and can rsh from my laptop. Most excellent.
Picked up a couple of 32B micro SDCards, but BBB won't boot with them
installed:
1. Power off, insert FAT32 formated card in slot
2.
Forgot to add that I can insert, mount and inspect the same card after the
BBB is up and running. The issue is that I can't power on boot with a card
installed.
