SnipeEasy tutorials · SnipeOS 13D
One command in the terminal
Same walkthrough videos as classic SnipeOS 26; the steps look the same. Use the 13D command under each video (update is 13D-update.sh). Classic SnipeOS 26 users should stay on the 26 easy tutorials.

Update SnipeOS 13D (one command)
After install: open QTerminal from the start menu and run the SnipeOS 13D update script. It refreshes sources, packages, patches, branding, and fixes stale cdrom entries when needed. Do not use the classic update.sh on 13D.
The video may show the classic update.sh line. On SnipeOS 13D, use the command below instead.
