This guide is for upgrading the PostX Gnu/Linux to 0.7 version. As of 3rd of January 2021 Debian Buster is having some issues with grub-efi and grub.cfg generation. This leads to failures when generating new images. Given the previous, the more manual way of upgrading PostX Gnu/Linux was chosen at this time.

Notices:

• Disable secure boot before attempting to install (Bios).
• Possibly disable legacy boot (Bios).
• Before proceeding read the section: Know issues – AMD from this document.

To begin get PostX Gnu/Linux 0.6 and install it.
