Hi Brook,

Yes, correct, what i want to do is to upgrade a running system.

Possibly i prefer to avoid pulling out the microSD, as far as possible.

I was successful cross-bulding and copying the sets, still there are a 
minor nuances :
overwriting/loss of config files and it take a notable amount of time to 
`tar -xvzf` all the sets
into the BBB (~10-20 min).

My only previous (successful) experience with `build.sh install=` was 
that is
was quite fast and also it has a post-hoc mechanism to take care of 
config files .

I will give another shot to `build.sh install=` to a remote system as 
soon as i can.

With the time available I could not find the place running that "pax" 
command so actually i still don't understand
why it fails. I run `build.sh -N 4` but it was not helpful for this case.

bye
Nicola
