The question is how? As I mentioned, the installs don't survive a reboot. Neither do the updates, for that matter.
are you booting from a cd or a usb drive? afaik, the cd does not support updates but the usb drive(s) will.
USB. Does anyone still use CDs?
Yes! Well, DVD's anyway. Many corporate and governmental organizations don't allow USB memory sticks for security reasons. Some places will actually fill the USB jacks with epoxy just in case an employee gets frisky.
Does it make any sense? Not really, but it doesn't have to. Information Assurance (IA) people are from a different planet. As they've been heard saying, "IA is the New Black!"
