Talk:Update paths

It's unfortunate that external applications are being wiped out with each OS update. I know that some folks consider this to be a feature, not a bug, but I can't really test new builds on the laptop if upgrading wipes out my whole carefully configured environment (external applications that aren't .xo bundles).

Online updates not requiring AC power?

You note that AC power is not required for online updates. Is this true in all cases? How about updates that might also flash the Firmware. Or is there no such online update variety?Alc 12:47, 12 February 2008 (EST)

I just did an online update of 656 and althought the battery and AC worked fine before, upon restart it told me this: got firmware version CL1 Q2D07 Q2D checking integrity... updating firmware battery not present powering off in 10 sec

i've removed and reinstalled the battery twice, making sure it's clean. no go. why would the battery die right after an update if it was plugged in that whole time? hmmm. anyone got ideas?
