The ''livecd-iso-to-disk'' script should be used to install the new build, but it currently doesn't propagate a home.img file from the iso, so you will have to manually move the home.img file to the /LiveOS/ folder of a new USB device.

If one only wants to refresh the source Live USB stick <u>that was installed with a {{Code|home.img}}</u>, then the home folder does not need to be transferred. The following commands will will refresh the overlay and system image:
