Newbie Updating Question

[Haakon Humberset]

For regular package updates use apt/dpkg as normal..

If you for instance want to change the configuration of your cluster, you
may alter the config and set it up, such that each node reinstalls itself
overnight or something...

I don't think there's anything in FAI that updates an installation without
reinstalling it.. It has two options on booting, install and sysinfo..
