I don't see the update via app manager, but I do see it if I run apt-get upgrade. You guys think it's safe to upgrade via apt-get?

Ugh.. and there's that goddam Rhapsody installer again. It's bad enough that here is no convenient uninstall in the Application Manager, you have to delve into the command line. And this time, apt-get remove rhapsody-installer doesn't get rid of it like it used to. I wish Real goes out business. The difficulty in removing their installer is obnoxious and makes me hate them even more than ever.

By the way, kernel changes.

Does this apply to the n810 boot from internal memory?

Right, the tablet typically has to be online for 24 hours straight for auto alerts to work.
Tonight I connected it manually to my WLAN and within a few seconds had the flashing icon...
Otherwise the upgrade went swimmingly, although the tablet had seen quite a few packages installed and removed, and has a variety of nonstandard (Chinook & Diablo) repos (the N800 is my sandbox/testbed now). Apart from that it was a fairly vanilla Diablo install with no funky system mods. I just made sure it was well charged and had plenty of free memory. May be just dumb luck though...
Subjectively the results in the browser are a mixed bag. On some sites the improvement is barely perceptible if at all ; on others it is dramatic (Google mail for one, in all modes). Images definitely load faster, and flash (YouTube) is much better. I had fun watching the entire X-Space orbit launch, an historic moment.
Had to disable the contacts/Tableteer home applets, no big deal. SIP still works fine. Haven't tried Maemo Mapper yet.
Now I'm waiting for tomorrow to see if the "empty battery while doing nothing" is really gone this time :-)

Thanks Fanoush! Now booting from SD with new version. Here's how I did it (on my n800; not sure about n810 booting from internal card), in case it helps others:
I booted from flash. Then did SSU update, which worked fine. Then I used fanoush's initfs flasher. (Follow instructions in this order: 4, 5, 9, 10; you do not need to enter "mv bootmenu.conf.n8x0.example bootmenu.conf" at step 5.)
Upon reboot, I had my bootmenu, and there was no option or need to run SSU while booting from SD.
I will now refrain from rotating to portrait mode until emjayes updates sliderotate. I sure hate to get those double panes!
