A better solution might to download the new version's image to a local
system set up as your NFS server.  Break your connection to the Internet
and then do the upgrade, test/debug.

I agree that NFS installs/upgrades work great.  I used to do this a lot
with Slackware for old laptops that didn't have CDs to avoid a dozen floppy
xfers.

&gt; hi folks,
&gt; 	my mandrake 9.2 box acts as my internet gateway/firewall/dns.  i 
&gt; recently upgraded it from mandrake 8.2 (actually i reinstalled the OS 
&gt; rather than upgrade...and am happy that i did).  i did the reinstall 
&gt; via nfs because it was faster than trying to feed CDs to the machine, 
&gt; and it only boots from a floppy anyway.  worked like a charm.
&gt; 
&gt; the question:  since this box is my internet gateway/firewall/dns, i am 
&gt; wondering if it is possible to upgrade it to mandrake 10.1 via nfs....?
&gt; 
&gt; the reason i ask is this:  when i did the aforementioned upgrade, i 
&gt; used an old Macintosh as a internet gateway/firewall/dns replacement 
&gt; until i could get the mandrake box back on-line.  now that it is, i'm 
&gt; not sure i understand how to do an upgrade via nfs when the box i wish 
&gt; to upgrade is the dns for my home LAN...
&gt; 
&gt; zat make sense?
