mdgm and I have decided that its time to lock this thread. So please do post any new OS6 on Legacy issues on their own threads.

1) Yes
2) You have to use standard OS6 images after you've done the upgrade to OS6 for future updates. The modified image fools 4.2.x into thinking the OS6 image is a 4.2.x image.
You would only need to install a modified image again if you wish to go back to 4.2.x (I have another thread on that now linked to in an early post in this thread) in which case you would be fooling OS6 into thinking a 4.2.x image is an OS6 one.
