Every now and then the squeezebox software (point web browser to port 9000 on the linux box you installed it on) reports there is a new version available. The first few times I tried to install I ended up uninstalling and having to enter all the settings again. So here is the way I now do it: Open a terminal window or xterm and change to root use "su -" and enter the root password First stop the squeezebox server. service squeezeboxserver stop I check it has stopped and if it hasn't I use "kill -9" to kill the two squeezebox tasks that are running. Next install the update. I use "yum" yum reinstall squeezeboxserver You can try updating it ("yum update") but I used "reinstall" as this works when you have a failed update attempt already. You can use "rpm" but yum will also download the latest version for you. Note: you may need to add the repository for squeezebox server rpm -Uvh http://repos.slimdevices.com/yum/squeezecente
