Hello!
But if you want to actually help by reporting bugs or hardware issues you have to have an easier way to update. 

I use Haiku long time ago on real iron, i write the image to flash drive, boot 
from it, and owervrite the old Haiku install wit the new files.
(I have lot of problems with this way, i frequently got KDL (time out problem) 
if i boot from Flash, i hate this. (An workaround is if i pressing frequently 
the keys on my keyboard at boot, and under the copy process... Pressing VERY 
frequently.)

In Haiku i can download the image, and mount, but i can't update Haiku in 
Haiku, because if it try to replace the kernel, i get KDL. I don't like it.
Is there any way to fix this? Maybe with a swadow copy about the kernel? 
(Starting the Haiku, automatically copy the kernel to kernel_x86_shadow (maybe 
can be hidden), and You can freely overwrite the original, and at the next boot 
You got the new kernel.
You need to burn the image to CD-RW and install from that. This only works up to r30782 and is being fixed.
