If you have already installed version 4.1 or later, you can click the "update" icon on the desktop to download a small "difference file" -- updating 4.2.2 to 4.2.3, the difference-file is 57MB.

However, to take advantage of the small difference-file download, you must have the current-version image file at /mnt/wkg, and its checksum must be correct. Md5sum for the English builds:

4.2.2	4117eaaac576962e4962c2aad0199ae8
4.2.1	43a018b43be00c1e1823482461ef507c
4.2	99fd485a8d4348576d514e82abbc3989
4.1	4ba675c72b98d42dbe1c12c57b6c5d35

If you did a fresh install of 4.2.2, you will need to copy that image file into /mnt/wkg (which is a link to /mnt/${WKG_DEV}/${WKG_DIR}).

If updating from earlier than 4.2.2, you need the two scripts posted here, before updating:

https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=6240

...replacing /usr/local/easy_version/easy-update and /usr/sbin/mount-img, and be sure exec flags are set.

If updating from 4.1 or earlier, please see the pink information-box in the 4.2.2 announcement link above.

If you don't know anything about image files, or even if you do, read the instructions here, how to write the image file to a usb-stick and boot it:
