When I do an update via apt-get - I simply end up with beta 1.
Any ideas - I don't want to have to do a reinstall!

Just providing an update: Grippen's post was SUCCESSFUL!
On my Revo 1600, I had 9.04 live installed. Following his post, I now have 9.11 live with the 190 nvidia drivers installed. Thanks!

I had to send my Revo 1600 back to Acer for repair. They ended up replacing the Mainboard and it now has what appears to be a new Bios on it (P01-A3). They left everything intact on the hard drive, but now when I boot my XBMC live 9.04 the network card is not detected. I have installed a USB Live version of 9.11 onto the USB stick and the network card shows up in that version of XBMC.
How can I update to XBMC 9.11 from 9.04 without having to format the drive and loose the music/pictures/videos on it? I don't care if I loose my xbmc 9.04 settings though. If I install via the USB live 9.11 copy over the existing 9.04 will there be problems and will it just format the entire drive to install it?
Since the network card isn't being detected I cant SSH or use apt-get update in order to update. What are my options here?

Just go to the console CTRL+ALT+F2 and do the same commands described on the previous page.

Going to the Console using that method still does't work. I think the network is still not accessible. It fails on every attempt at downloading from a site using apt-get update or upgrade. Is there a good way to re initialize the ethernet card in linux?
