How much data does the KoomBook use?

May 2, 2018 Florian Updates 0 minutes, 37 seconds

When the KoomBook is connected to the internet with an Ethernet cable or WiFi, it will search the Bibliothèques Sans Frontières (Libraries Without Borders) file server for updates. If there are any available, they will be applied to the KoomBook. Possible updates include:

  • Updates to software for the Linux operating system, which can vary from a few hundred KB to several dozen MB.
  • Updates to the Ideascube software, which uses about 20 MB.
  • Content updates, which can use between several hundred MB and more than a dozen GB. However, these are quite rare and only done upon request.

In the majority of cases, connecting to the internet and installing available updates consumes about 20 MB

These automatic updates can be disactivated if you wish.
