In this guide I'll explain how to upgrade your XBMCLive HTPC to the latest version and final release, Camelot 9.11, without the need for reinstalling all over again.
The process itself is pretty simple, all you need to do is run a few commands.
If any complications occur, post any error messages below being as detailed as possible and I will do my best to help.
