Sorry to be thick, but could someone expand the steps to upgrade to 0.6.3,
using only a command prompt on my AstLinux device? Or better still create
a batch file that just does it? I'm starting from a standard 0.6.2 image
on a CF card with plenty of room.

For example, in the instructions below, step 1 is clear (does it matter
which directory I'm in to start with, though?) but step 2 presumably
involves ftp or wget and finding a suitable writeable location on the CF
card.

   1. 'mount -o remount,rw /oldroot/cdrom'
   2. Download the new files.  The upgrade files would be
astlinux-XXX.tar.gz. For example, if the release is 0.6.0, the files
will be distributed as astlinux-0.6.0-<ARCH>.tar.gz.  You could
download these files onto a client PC or on your AstLinux device (in an
area with enough free space)
   3. Expand the archive:  tar -xzvf astlinux-0.6.0-<ARCH>.tar.gz
   4. cd astlinux-0.6.0-<ARCH>; cp * /oldroot/cdrom/os (if downloaded and
decompressed on your client PC, you'll want to use a tool to scp the
files to the AstLinux device.
