Is this referring to a USB flash of OpenVix, if so Which OpenVix version will this apply from ?

Good questions - Yes to USB flash and version 15 or later, as version 14 build was run before the GB update..

Thats a different driver update ... the boot changes are in #15
If you putty into the receiver and do a cat /proc/partitions you should see the difference in partition size.
You should also have seen the special update on the Giga‘s LCD when you usb flashed.

Should be back to couch flashing now, had to switch my laptop on for the first time in ages (took a while for the Windows updates to finish)

If you have flashed 015 or newer one by USB, you do not need to flash any other subsequent ones by USB.

A software update will be fine.
