What are images for????

[toolman0114]

New here so forgive my stupidity.
I read about images, and people changing them.
What are images? Why would you change them? Should I change mine???? And how do I change them?

[mp]

Images contain all the files required for the box to function without them its just a box

Think of them as bringing your box to life

Pc's are just boxes ina similar way without their source software

Images change for different reasons but you do not have to change your image in fact images as old as 5 years still work today its the additonal files that change eg: softcams ect

The old adage if it aint broke dont fix it

However if youy like a change then change it

Hope this helps
