hi pretty new to this

my systems details :-

edison os mini

about
virtuosso image xtreme
by team vix

image 5.0.013(release)
drivers 2017 04 10
kernel 4.10.0

problem 1

main menu->setup->software update->

gives this message box
"the linux kernel has changed, an update is not permitted. install latest image using usb stick or image manager."


problem 2

main menu->setup->service searching->autobouquetsmaker->update config files->

gives the message box
"incompatible version 2.5>2.6"

background info :-

i had set up my box, and was updating thru ethernet connection

my last update failed, and now i think a tv channel has moved and if i understand correctly updating autobouquets config would re tune that channel, i cant do that either

(i also have an external hdd for tv recordings back ups and images)


ive not done a usb update before, how is it done, does it lose settings ? :/
