I got this doubt since it is not certain distro like LinuxMint, etc do not
have the Upgrading feature from Existing version rather than Booting live
and upgrading.
I dunno about BOSS, but its very much possible to upgrade linux mint
from repos . Previously there were issues with linux mint debian
edition (LMDE) because of the fact that its a rolling distribution ,
but now they have come up with update packs[1] to solve the issue .
If you are curious to experiment . You can keep proper[2] lines in
/etc/apt/sources.list and do #apt-get update and #apt-get dist-upgrade
1. LMDE update packs

2. Proper - depending on the distro and sometimes ( with caution )
the parent distro name + release .
