+Go to the administration section and choose the menu item
+<literal>Upgrade</literal>.  You can then browse your disk for the
+installer image you have previously downloaded.  Then press the
+<literal>Start Upgrade</literal> button, confirm, wait for a few minutes
+and confirm again.  The system will then boot straight into the installer.

+You can use <command>upslug2</command> from any Linux or Unix machine to
+upgrade the machine via the network.  This software is packaged for
+Debian.
+
+First, you have to put your NSLU2 in upgrade mode:

+Wait for 10 seconds watching the ready/status LED. After 10 seconds it
+will change from amber to red. Immediately release the reset button.
+
+</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>
+
+The NSLU2 ready/status LED will flash alternately red/green (there is a 1
+second delay before the first green). The NSLU2 is now in upgrade mode.
+

+</orderedlist>
+
+See the <ulink url="NSLU2-Linux
+pages">http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/OpenSlug/UsingTheBinary</ulink> if
+you have problems with this.
+
+Once your NSLU2 is in upgrade mode, you can flash the new image:
+
+<informalexample><screen>
+sudo upslug2 -i di-nslu2.bin
+</screen></informalexample>
+
+Note that the tool also shows the MAC address of your NSLU2, which may come
+in handy to configure your DHCP server.  After the whole image has been
+written and verified, the system will automatically reboot.  Make sure you
+connect your USB disk again now, otherwise the installer won't be able to
+find it.
