Title: upgrade to sme5.0 via ftp
Post by: steve macgregor on September 20, 2001, 06:17:16 AM

Is there any way I can upgrade my installation to 5.0 via the web instead of downloading and burning and installing the usual way?

Thanks,

steve

No, sorry, we don't support network installs. If you have an
existing fileserver it is relatively easy to set one up using
the bootnet.img image (look at the ks.cfg file) and unrolling
the ISO into an HTTP/FTP area.

However, this will only work if you have an existing server
which provides DHCP and HTTP/FTP or you set static addresses.

We can't provide general network upgrades as there is a serious
chicken&egg problem - authenticated external DHCP is not
supported by the boot floppy image.
