I am not sure about the easiest and best way of doing that update. Checking the new update functions module and doing it manually (example 5) I can figure out how to replace the images (YFNX and YLIB), but what about FLDB? It is a 4K ROM with the CRCs, if I update it many of my stored modules will not match the CRC in the FLDB. If I do not update it, then the CRC will be wrong for only YFNX and YLIB.

As YFNX does not work anyway, is the easiest and best way to just ignore the FLDB and only update YFNX and YLIB? It cannot get much worse as the version I have now does not work.

I have no serial port and doing a complete update seems way over my head at the moment.

I would not worry about the FLDB at the moment. It is only really used when doing an accelerated update (with the CPONLY option.) Since you don't have the serial port you can't use this feature anyway. If in the future you do an update that relies on the FLDB, what will happen is that YFNX and YLIB will be marked as stale because of the stale FLDB entry, and will updated even though they don't need to be. This will not be a problem except for the extra 2-3 minutes it will add to the update time.
