Yeah, that sounds like it, but here are some points:

1. if you can't upgrade a running system (Debian can, most others can) 
without BOOTING FROM THE CD or DVD, then why does YaST have the option 
available?

2. Half of my machines don't have CD drives, much less CDROMS, and none 
of them have floppy drives.  A Network Install is basically the only way 
to upgrade them.
