On this page (-> OS2008 -> "Bootmenu Installer" ) there are useful tips about updating systems with bootmenu.

In App Manager, check for updates. It should show up there.
i.e. On the App Manager 'Main View', click 'Check of Updates' --> then hit the little refresh icon in the lower right corner

Error message message is totally wrong, and correct behaviour would be a question if user wants to uninstall applications in order to upgrade.
Thanks!

Painless install, everything is working as it should be no loss of applications... I don't notice too much of a difference I guess I'll wait for a detailed changelog.

Should dual booters be using the app manager or using apt-get upgrade?

Lost internet radio station favorites after the upgrade, but no issues after restoring them from backup.
Could be caused from me not waiting for dual-boot instructions? No issues otherwise (aside from need to figure out "reflash the bootmenu"; off to search

My update was flawless. The version number in 'About Product' is now unknown!
Code:
var/lib/dpkg/info/osso-software-version-<tab>
You can confirm quickly by checking osso-product-info.
