Have at hand the Dingo Golden update (just in case), and be familiar with the procedure to downgrade to Dingo (in case things go wrong). Then, make yourself familiar with the standard procedure for upgrades (check the sticky thread for new owners for that). Then, the procedure will be obvious:

1) Copy the zip file to a (smallish) USB drive or MicroSD card, renaming it to "update.zip" (and not update.zip.zip or things like that).
2) Turn off the PE and connect the MicroSD card or USB drive.
3) Turn on the PE, while holding "Menu" and "Rotate" down for at least ten seconds. Then, release the buttons.
4) After a few minutes, an upgrade screen should appear. If it doesn't appear after about 10 minutes, use a paper clip to reset the PE and try again with a different medium (MicroSD if you used USB and viceversa, or a smaller USB drive).
5) The upgrade should take several minutes. If everything goes right, the PE will reboot into Ermine (note: it will ask you to calibrate the Reader screen after the reboot). If there is a problem, the PE will shutdown. If it shuts down, you will have to re-flash with the Dingo Golden update to recover the device (that's why I recommend that you get familiar with it). Also, if it fails please post here the "update.log" file from the update medium.
6) If things work out, you might want to check the "Allmine" thread.

Good luck!

Did as you suggested and everything went well. Very much obliged to you. Thanks. I will take a look at Allmine......
