Thats all well and good, and I always do buy the official version so that I can have the DVD handy for recoveries, but as I run a SuSE ftp mirror for Turkey anyway it is certainly no hastle to install machines over 100MB ether :-)
Infact it is much preferable to do network installs as they are much faster than cd/dvd, and adding packages to servers doesn't require going into the server room to put a cd in :-)
I've been trying to do an "ftp-upgrade" but, like you, couldn't find a way to do that. If you have a SuSE-mirror why not try to do an "nfs-upgrade"? I don't know if this works because i haven't tried that myself, but maybe someone else on this list knows??
Hell, I can copy the sources to my second hard disk if need be, but unless there is an option in the installer to do an upgrade it won't change anything.. Has anyone else figured out a way to upgrade using the ftp version? Is this purposely limited by suse?? -- Peter Nixon http://www.peternixon.net/ PGP Key: http://www.peternixon.net/public.asc
