Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I was wondering if there is a<br>
way to update an existing stick, e.g., Strawberry to Mirabelle.<br>

<div><br></div><div>If the storage capacity of your stick is large enough (4+ gigabytes), you may want to consider a non-compressed filesystem install (sometimes called a "full install") without the write-once overlay of the LiveOS that is used for operating system changes, but you'll have to sort through the various experiments here, <a href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/Installation/Variations">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/Installation/Variations</a>.</div>
