* **Max Boot Environments:** |trueos| automatically creates a boot
environment before updating any software, the operating system, or
applying a system update. Once the configured maximum number of boot
environments is reached, |trueos| will automatically prune (delete)

* **Custom Package Repository:** To use a custom package repository for
updates, check this box. This will activate the :guilabel:`URL`
field so the user can input the URL to the custom repository.
* **Automatically reboot to finish updates:** This selection initiates
a system reboot at a designated time in order to finish the update
process. By default, this selection is **unchecked**. Once checked,
the reboot time can be configured to a specific hour of the day.
Highlight the hour number and either type a new hour, or use the
:guilabel:`arrows` to increase or decrease the hour. Highlight
:guilabel:`AM/PM` to adjust this value.
* **Repositories:** |trueos| uses two repositories for updates,
:guilabel:`STABLE` and :guilabel:`UNSTABLE`. :guilabel:`STABLE` will
only update to formally released updates. :guilabel:`UNSTABLE` is the
testing location for upcoming updates. It is recommended only for
advanced users or those who wish to help test |trueos| and |lumina|.
To use a custom package repository for updates, check
:guilabel:`CUSTOM`. This will activate the :guilabel:`URL` field so
the user can input the URL to the custom repository.
Once all options are configured to their desired settings, click
:guilabel:`Save Settings`.
